It may seem different to you, but if you provide pub/sub services, it
fits it quite nicely. Perhaps you don't know what kind of data I'm
talking about. Say you're doing load balancing and need to make
distributed decisions about which member to talk to. One easy and good
way to do that is to distribute an idea of what the "load" of various
machines is. It is control information, of a sort.
