3.10. TC PUSH

The TC has developed a first version of a push protocol. It provides methods to subscribe to topics and to deliver push messages to a new entity called push-gateway. The push gateway acts as an adapter to the actual push delivery service and provides a standardized interface to the application server. The TC also specified an extension to WebDAV to provide a way for the client to discover supported push-gateways, to discover push topics and to subscribe to topics and select a specific gateway. At this time there is an initial implementation of a pushgateway as well as server side and client side implementations.

Work for next 4 months:

• Finish the initial specs

• Get more clients & servers to implement the draft

• Plan for more Interop testing at the next event
