Is a single AFFIX component or every component responsible for the connection name/locator?

[monzum]

In our implementation currently, only the Coordination AFFIX is responsible for the name. We provide the name/locator as one of the arguments for the Coordination AFFIX. This value does not get passed on to the other AFFIX components. Is this the correct way of doing it?

Furthermore, when we create an AFFIX stack through the AffixStackInterface, we provide an argument for the virtual_host_name which is used when the AFFIX stack is created. However this argument is not used for any other purpose other than AffixStack.gethostname() that returns this value.

The reason I originally did not pass the virtual_host_name to individual components is to ensure that the components did not change the name and return an ambiguous value when the method getmyip() is invoked.

Any thoughts on what should be done here? Should the virtual_host_name provided by the application be made available to all the AFFIX components or just to the AFFIX stack? If we do not make it available to every AFFIX component than a name will need to be passed down to decider and branching/splitter AFFIXs such as Coordination AFFIX and Legacy AFFIX.

Let's discuss in the google doc.
