RE: [Asrg] seeking comments on new RMX article

["Eric D. Williams" <[e-mail]>]

Is RMX a proposed change to existing Internet services OR, 1) a proposed 
extension to/of existing services? 2) an additional use of existing services? 
3) a new protocol?

My read is that it is #2 above.  The RMX proposal do not seem to constitute a 
change to existing services but rather a leveraging of those services to 
achieve a specific goal.  It also seems to be application specific as opposed 
to a networking protocol.
