One major one is that BXXP doesn't say anything about what it transports or what its interaction model is (other than session oriented). One of BXXP's goals was to allow for a protocol where the actual elements were unlimited. The outcome is that BXXP can frame and multiplex anything that can be encoded in a MIME body. The channel maintenance stuff is in XML but that doesn't mean the actual protocol elements have to be... BTW, I talked with Marshall after the meeting about a UDP version and he thought it was doable, especially if you require the frame (segment) size to be under the 512 byte limit.... -MM -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael Mealling | Vote Libertarian! | www.rwhois.net/michael Sr. Research Engineer | www.ga.lp.org/gwinnett | ICQ#: 14198821 Network Solutions | www.lp.org | michaelm@netsol.com
