Description of Working Group:
The IETF BXXP working group shall develop a standards-track application
protocol framework for connection-oriented, asynchronous
request/response interactions.
The framework must permit multiplexing of independent request/response
streams over a single transport conneciton, supporting both textual and
binary messages.
The working group shall use BXXP (as described in
draft-mrose-blocks-protocol-03) as its starting point. The working group
is authorized to make incompatible changes to BXXP providing that it
document solid technical reasons for doing so.
