Hi Bob,
thanks for commenting on LADI stuff
The main issue isn't whether D-Bus clients can connect to buses on a
different host. The main issue is whether D-Bus clients connected to
one bus can send messages to objects on a different bus.
I was actually labouring under the impression that D-Bus as-is could
cope with connecting to remote hosts because it uses sockets. That this
isn't the case is, in fact *another* problem with D-Bus.
D-Bus clients can't send messages to objects on remote buses. As-is,
they can't even connect to buses on remote hosts. Shocking.

The huge, major weak point that would prevent me
from investing myself
in LADI is the use of D-Bus which requires an extra, external layer in
order to perform routing between objects on different buses. See my
previous mail on the subject here:

>From what Nedko has said on IRC, I believe LADISH has such a layer.
D-Bus *can* span over multiple hosts.
