- Additional protocols can be added by implementing the common interface.
- The Data Connection Layer is a **clean data pipe** — it publishes tag value updates to Instance Actors but performs no evaluation of triggers or alarm conditions.
- **Initial attribute quality**: Attributes bound to a data connection start with **uncertain** quality when the Instance Actor initializes. The quality remains uncertain until the first value update is received from the Data Connection Layer. This distinguishes "never received a value" from "received a known-good value" or "connection lost" (bad quality).
- Data connections support optional **backup endpoints** with automatic failover after a configurable retry count. On failover, all subscriptions are transparently re-created on the new endpoint.
