Thanks for the quick response. I didn't tried the patch yet, but I think
spotted an error:

The values of TIPC_SUB_SERVICE and TIPC_SUB_PORTS seem to be swapped
compared to the old (TIPC 1.6) values:
#define TIPC_SUB_PORTS     	0x01  	/* filter for port availability */
#define TIPC_SUB_SERVICE     	0x02  	/* filter for service availability */

You might missed this error when trying the code I posted earlier (which
BTW are the official TIPC demos) because the change of behaviour when
using TIPC_SUB_SERVICE and TIPC_SUB_PORTS is very subtle (the former
reports only the first published port name that matches, and the later
all the published ports that match).

I'll test the patch tomorrow morning (ART).

Thanks again.
