Potential upgrades to Channel Access
o generalized access to abstract data
o use multicast for broadcasting and ax the repeater
o large arrays
o improve client API
o improve security
o name service (wildcard queries)
o PV name prefix (for all PVs)
o client access to process passive and for maximize severity
o detect name conflicts at boot time
o multi priority connections (quality of service)
o reduce protocol overhead
o compressed protocol
o If there is a beacon anomaly then this indicates that
the server is _not_ available. Perhaps we should only
reset the search timer interval when we see a beacon
anomaly transition into a sure steady beacon.
o make certain that a monitor callback canceling itself
does not deadlock.
o the free list library does not now cause exceptions to
occur (it uses new ( nothrow )), and therefore we should
change the new handlers to be nothrow also if this is
the design goal.
o test the library when an IOC is running low on memory.
