Changes between Initial Version and Version 1 of Ticket #605, comment 19

initial	v1
1	1	#448 is fixed. I looked in the code and this issue #605 is still going to be unchanged by #448 being fixed because the storage client starts attempting to connect to each storage server as soon as it learns about the server: [source:trunk/src/allmydata/storage_client.py@4131#L102]. One way to improve the behavior of the client with regard to this ticket would be to make that call to {{{start_connection()}}} be invoked lazily, only when the client actually wanted to send a message to that particular server. However, this would harm alacrity—it would move TCP and foolscap handshaking from introduction time to request time and thus increase the delay between making the request and receiving the response (for the first request made to each server). I don't think that is a good trade-off.

3		That means this ticket is going to stay open until we implement something more along the lines of comment:14—a way for clients to get hints that certain servers are currently off-line without attempting to open a TCP connection to those servers. Oh, also something that might help with this would be μTP (#1179).
