(RADIATOR) query in regards to hook processing

[Martin Edge]

Hey Hugh,

Thanks for the reply, hope you had a good new year ;) 

Option 1 - Client Clause modification - 
    - But would setting the DupInterval to 0 be safe in an environment that's accepting ~25 packets a second ?

Option 2 - Pseudo Attribute - 
    - So I could (via the hook) set my packet type in a Pseudo attribute within the packet, instead of a global variable, which will still exist in the packet object when the     retransmit comes along?

    - Does the pseudo attribute have to exist in the dictionary? 

Thanks
Martin

  Hello Martin -

  The PreClientHook will fire for every packet if you set the DupInterval 
  to 0 in the Client clauses.

  BTW - it is much safer and easier to add a pseudo-attribute to the 
  incoming request which can then be used for your Handlers.

  regards

  Hugh

  NB: have you included a copy of your configuration file (no secrets),
  together with a trace 4 debug showing what is happening?
