Hi Crista,
That is maybe the oldest and simplest way :-)
If it comes sometimes to a RFC standard for this type of protocols, it would
fit in their transports kind of implementation - I love the idea.
Cheers

The neighbors and teleports can be made the same, because they use the
exact same set of interregion comms. And I think that the right thing to
do is to add the protocol version number in the messages themselves,
just like lots of other protocols do. I should have thought about this
before. I'll add it next week.
So if a region comes up and tries to engage with a neighbor that's
running an older/incompatible version of the interregion protocol, that
neighbor should essentially be made invisible, and vice-versa. And if
you try to TP to a region running older/incompatible interregion comms,
the TP will fail with a meaningful message, but nobody will crash.
What do you think?
Crista
