There has been some use lately of the terms "peep-hole" and "omniscient", referring to views of the SOAP activity in a MEP instance. I don't know what either of those terms means here. To see whether a one-way message exchange has happened, we need to look at the sender and all receivers /and nothing else/ (like so many other things, this is independent of the supposedly complicating matter of how many receivers there are. If you like, substitute "the receiver"). If all receivers receive a message identical to the one sent, then we have normal operation of the one-way MEP. If not, we have abnormal operation, which MAY produce faults. I'm not sure if this view is a "peep-hole" view or an "omniscient" view. Whatever it is, it appears to work.
