KMIP Server to Client communication model

Hi All,

 

Please guide me understand this…

 

I
have gone through Server to Client Communication requests Notify and Put.

 

As
the Spec
document says “These operations are used to send Managed
Cryptographic objects directly to clients without a specific request from
client" Line no: 1439.

 

I
have the following doubts: 

 

       
[1] Why these operations are necessary since , Client requests (for get
attributes) are answered by the server.

   

       
[2] What happens when client is not available when the server sends the
Notify/PUT requests? How will the server know that client is available? 

 

           [3] Will client
listen on some port so that server can send Notify/Put requests?

 

Thanks
for the updated Use cases document kmip-usecases-1.0-cd-09.doc.

 

In
the Use
cases document it would be helpful if any use cases is mentioned on
how the multiple attribute instances are possible and Notify/Put requests.

 

 

Thanks
in advance.
