Abstract: A handover node may receive a first hardware device identifier transmitted by a hardware device and a second hardware device identifier transmitted by a manager node. The handover node may determine whether the first and second hardware device identifiers match and, as a result of determining that the first and second hardware device identifiers match, transmit contact information for the manager node to a hardware device. A manager node may receive a hardware device identifier that identifies a hardware device, transmit the hardware device identifier to a handover node, and transmit contact information for the manager node to the handover node. The contact information may include a port number of the manager node different than a port number used to communicate with the handover node. The manager node may receive a request to establish a communication session between the hardware device and the manager node.

Abstract: Responsive to a configuration event, a controller instance generates, according to a current version of a configuration interface between the controller instance and a data instance, a configuration message. The configuration message is obtained, via message service, by remote data instances. The remote data instances attempt to process the configuration message, according to whichever version of the configuration interface the respective data instances are using. Appropriate acknowledgements (based on whether the remote data instances could fully process the configuration message or not) are generated and returned to the controller instance that marks a record for the configuration message as complete for the remote instance or marks the record for the configuration message to be re-sent for the remote instance. After waiting some period of time to allow data instances with out-of-date versions to update, a configuration message update cycle re-sends the message to the appropriate remote data instances.
