TCPROS connection header probe attribute for discovery

edit

No. The probe connection header attribute is not documented there, or anywhere I can find. I only discovered it by analyzing the byte streams using wireshark, and then found vague references to the functionality in release notes. I autogenerated scripts for discovery before noticing probe exists.

Adding information about the things you're seeing will help the developers correlate it with the actual behavior of the software. Links to release notes, code, existing docs that you've already found, and wireshark dumps would all be useful.

Where do you think I should put it? It seems like the TCPROS documentation would only be the right place once the details are known so as not to confuse readers? I'll post here if you think this is the right place. I usually don't get follow up on my comments, so I appreciate your follow through, and I will personally follow through to your suggestions if you reply. Thanks, Aaron

For the purposes of asking about these things, include your background materials in the question. This will prevent answers suggesting documentation that you've already deemed is incomplete.

Added the information to the Description. Thanks, Aaron

Off subject do you know the default connect timeout? and does a pub/sub timeout on no activity after x time? If so what is that time duration?

I'm not sure what the connection timeout is; I suspect it's set by the OS TCP stack. I'm not aware of an inactivity timeout on topics.

I think your right about topics. Although, the UDP implementation does have a heartbeat bit, yet I don't think it uses it. I didn't see a non-infinite timeout on the code references you shared, however, a comment inside of there made it appear like that was an intent... Thanks for your incite.
