In response to a recent request for information about efficient messaging protocols, may I refer you to a proposal that has been offered as a candidate for IMPP, but which is built on a relay model capable of matching and enhancing SMTP transfer semantics: http://search.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-mrose-imxp-core-00.txt http://search.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-mrose-imxp-access-00.txt http://search.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-mrose-blocks-protocol-04.txt #g -- At 05:33 AM 6/26/00 +0000, Mohsen BANAN-Public wrote: >Existing SMTP/IMAP/TCP technology is not well suited for >mobile and wireless environments where bandwidth and >capacity are always limited and precious. > > >More efficient protocols are needed to address the new >reality of mobile and wireless networks.
