[Standards-JIG] Disco, Cache, TTL

[JD Conley]

My favorite option is SHIM:

Of course this requires both server and client participation to make it
work well, but could save huge storms of traffic over all links. For
example, servers could cache disco from other servers to serve to its
own clients.

Hello,

I think we should have some extension and best practice for disco
caching. We could avoid lots of unnecessary traffic.

What about a TTL like in DNS according to JEP-0128.
If you disco a chatserver for chatrooms TTL makes of course no sense
because new rooms could be created all the time and we need real time
results here. But normally a server configuration doesn't change that
often, so it would be no problem to cache this result for a week also
over multiple sessions.
