Segmentation ( Section 5.2.1.3 )
Does the connectivity framework require running a special process or broker ?
Does the application code ( or business logic ) have to be aware of the other endpoints in order to participate in information exchange ?
Is the governance explicit and shareable ?
Can a content-filter specify the data subset of interest ?
Can sub-sampling specify the data subset of interest ?
Does the connectivity technology support real-time data distribution ? Is the latency deterministic ( smaller jitter is better )?
How does the latency and jitter change with throughput ? What limits the throughput ?
Can the connectivity framework effectively handle an increasing number of data objects ? What limits data object size ?
Can the connectivity framework effectively support interface evolution for an increasing number of distributed application components ?
Can the connectivity framework support continuous availability over a defined systemrelevant time period ?
Can the connectivity framework support recovery when fault conditions occur ?
Does the connectivity framework support the operating system ( OS ), the CPU and the resource constraints on the platform ( s ) being used ?
Does the connectivity framework facilitate incremental upgrades ?
What network topologies are allowed ? What is the span of the transport : LAN vs . WAN ?
Can the transport support multiple independent and isolated communication paths between the same network endpoints ?
