New text for 4.3.3:
In principle, as well as determining that some messaging association
must be used, GIST MAY select between a set of alternatives, e.g. for
load sharing or because different messaging associations provide
different transport or security attributes. For the case of reliable
delivery, GIST MUST NOT distribute messages for the same session over
multiple messaging associations in parallel, but MUST use a single
association at any given time. The case of moving over to a new
association is covered in Section 4.4.3.
Revised text for 4.4.3:
...To
maintain the transport semantics described in Section 4.1, GIST MUST
close transport connections carrying reliable messages gracefully or
report an error condition, and MUST NOT open a new association to be
used for given session and peer while messages on a previous
association could still be outstanding. GIST MAY use an MA-Hello
request/response exchange on an existing association to verify that
messages sent on it have reached the peer.
