[Opensim-dev] TP protocol handle

[MW]

I don't think this is really practical, different users will want things running on different ports. And we need to allow all ports to be changed. 

Also some people might be running multiple grids (servers) on one physical server. So they all couldn't be running their discovery service on the same port.

Frank Nichols <frank at thenichols.net> wrote: Would it be possible to standardize a port or address for discovery of a 
grid's connection data. The point being to remove having to include the 
port number in the link. The "discovery" address would not be for 
connection, but would respond with a standard answer giving details 
about what regions and what ports you need to use to connect to that 
grid and possibly what version it is running for compatibility checking.
