It layers a protocol on top of something which is not defined (yet, although it promises to): HTTP layered over (multicast and unicast) UDP. I think HTTP layered over multicast & unicast UDP will be exceedingly difficult to define correctly. HTTP messages and responses are arbitrary length, and require one-for-one responses to requests. >... we're looking for a few good HTTP experts to > sanity check this draft The 'sanity' of this approach escapes me.
