"""""""""""
DFC will interact with the DMaaP Message Router and with the Data Router via secured protocol, using json files.
So far, the implemented protocols are sftp and ftp(e)s.

+Retry mechanism
+"""""""""""""""
+DFC is designed to retry downloading and publishing of files in order to recover from temporary faults.
+Each time an event is received, DFC will try to download and and publish each previously unpublished file in the event.
+The event is received from the Message Router (MR), the files are fetched from a PNF and are published to Data Router
+(DR).
+Both fetching of a file and publishing is retried a number of times with an increasing delay between each attempt.
+After a number of attempts, the DFC will log an error message and give up. Failing of processing of one file does not
+affect the handling of others. \ No newline at end of file
