transport control has nothing to do with controlling the flow graph.
however, i think that any graph node can be the transport master.

not coming from me, that's for sure. i've made it clear that although i think out-of-process connectivity is cool, i don't support it as part of GMPI.

transport control has nothing to do with controlling the flow graph. thats why i responded to ron's message in the way i did. transport control determines what transport-aware nodes do when they are executed. it does not control when they are executed or in what order: that's the job of the host.
however, i think that any graph node can be the transport master.
