[Opensim-dev] [Opensim-users] Grid Numberging

[Stefan Andersson]

Codifying a UUID is considered a "bad thing"(tm). The right way to go is to never trust (rely on) a given guid, only to trust (rely on) internally assigned guids.
 
So, if grid A tells grid B that it has guid X, B could store this data, but will store the data with the internally generated guid Y as key. And whenever it refers to it internally it will refer to Y, not X.
If B needs tell third-party grid C about X, you've probably done something wrong, and that will be a trust issue right there.
 
The same goes for regions in a grid as well, as well as for clients to a region. All trust boundaries, and all potential exploits.
 
This said, I know that we just want things working fast, so if you all sexy people think codification is the way to go, codify away!

Each region for a given grid should start with the same root.It will help to solve any duplicate issue.Feedback ?Laurent AKA Sacha Magne
