Annotation
Abbreviations: CXN (Connection): The vonnection exists inside of the .NET Alerts service. UA (UserAgent): The userAgent exists outside of the .NET Alerts service. There are two primary types of connections: Push: Alerts are pushed by CXN to UA. Pull: Alerts are downloaded by the UA by issuing a request to CXN. The response contains the alerts. A CXN is created (added to the .NET Alerts content document) either by the UA directly or by some entity acting on behalf of the UA. In order to transfer the alerts, a session, either persistent or transient, is established between CXN and UA. In cases in which sessions are transient, the CXN persists. Establishment of a session can be initiated by either CXN or UA, either when the CXN is created or based on, say, a timer or some signaling mechanism between CXN and UA. The session can be closed by either entity after a period of time (including 0). The following are different models of UA-CXN interaction: 1) UA establishes a session with a CXN and pulls alerts from CXN. 2) UA establishes a session with a CXN and the CXN pushes alerts to the UA. 3) CXN establishes a session with a UA and the UA pulls alerts. 4) CXN establishes a session with a UA and pushes alerts to UA. 5) UA polls the CXN periodically on a timer and UA will initiate process #1 or #2. 6) CXN polls the UA when alerts arrive or periodically on a timer. When there are pending alerts in the queue, UA will initiate process #1 or #2.

Abbreviations:
CXN (Connection): The vonnection exists inside of
the .NET Alerts service.

UA (UserAgent): The userAgent exists outside of
the .NET Alerts service.

There are two primary types of connections:

Push: Alerts are pushed by CXN to UA.
Pull: Alerts are downloaded by the UA
by issuing a request to CXN. The response
contains the alerts.

A CXN is created (added to the .NET Alerts
content document) either by the UA directly or by some entity acting on behalf of the UA.

In order to transfer the alerts, a session, either persistent or transient, is established
between CXN and UA. In cases in which sessions are transient, the CXN persists.
Establishment of a session can be initiated by either CXN or UA,
either when the CXN is created or based on, say, a timer or some
signaling mechanism between CXN and UA. The session can be closed by either entity
after a period of time (including 0).

The following are different models of UA-CXN
interaction:

1) UA establishes a session with a CXN and pulls alerts
from CXN.
2) UA establishes a session with a CXN and the CXN pushes
alerts to the UA.
3) CXN establishes a session with a UA and the UA pulls
alerts.
4) CXN establishes a session with a UA and pushes alerts
to UA.
5) UA polls the CXN periodically on a timer and UA will initiate
process #1 or #2.
6) CXN polls the UA when alerts arrive or periodically on a
timer. When there are pending alerts in the queue, UA will
initiate process #1 or #2.
