Interesting, that assumes sequential processing, if not semi-synchronous processing of events on the receiver side, which is far from guaranteed when considering low-level tracing especially for flight-recorder applications. relayfs is specifically targeted at situations where there is no implied synchronisation or protocol between server and clients. Indeed, where the receiver is undefined at the time the data is deposited.
