Title : AT&T/Neda's Efficient Short Remote Operations (ESRO)
Protocol Specification Version 1.2
Author(s) : M. Banan, M. Taylor, J. Cheng

This document specifies the service model, the notation and protocol for
Efficient Short Remote Operations (ESRO). The ESRO service is similar to
and is consistent with other Remote Procedure Call services. The emphasis
of ESRO service definition and the ESRO protocol is on efficiency. ESRO is
designed specifically with wireless network (e.g., CDPD) usage in mind.
ESRO protocol provides reliable connectionless remote operation services on
top of UDP (or any other non-reliable connectionless transport service)
with minimum overhead. ESRO protocol supports segmentation and reassembly,
concatenation and separation as well as multiplexing for service users
(applications).
ESRO allows for trade-offs between efficiency and reliability
by specifying both 2-way hand-shake and 3-way hand-shake
based protocols.
Encoding mechanisms for presentation of the parameters of remote
operations are outside the scope of this document. But,
identification (tagging) of the encoding mechanism in use (e.g., XDR, BER,
PER) is supported by ESRO protocol.
A variety of applications can use the ESRO protocol. Some early
applications using ESRO include efficient short message submission
and delivery, credit card authorization and white pages lookup.

Send a message to: mailserv@ds.internic.net. In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-rfced-info-banan-esro-00.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e., documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version
of the Internet-Draft.
