Jfcm,
good points. The discussion really affect the consideration if we should
adopt SOAP or not.
I do think that TCP is needed. TCP provides many faetures that we need (that
is for the callout protocol).

Subject: Re: Draft Agenda for IETF 56
My main question is about the entry and the ending points of the OPES
concept. If it is accepted that not only HTTP but any
protocol is OK, and
that alternatively both end points can be user/producer or
that we may have
a peer to peer support, it will mean that any entry/output
protocol is OK,
including a keyboard/user file/application etc, towards a
screen, a file, etc.
This means there is no pseudo-synchoronous (like in hhtp)
obligation (or as
options).
This means that we have a general purpose concept of a
filter/transformer
system on a flow.
Which will standardize everywhere.
This means that, the filter/transformer relation (callout
protocol) can be
anything from realtime to soap. Am I correct? Because this
means that we
will have a good general framework for a protected/acked
balanced protocol
able to support one to many or even many to many relations.
Then the next question will be: will it always be under TCP? jfc

we want to continue the lively discussion on the mailing list at the

56 meeting in San Francisco next week.
We intend to spend a few minutes provding a quick update on
the status
of
our five submitted WG documents, and then go immediatelly
over to the OPES
prototol work. Focus will be on resolving the higher-level issues,
starting with a discussion of major decision points for
protocol design
and of the "protocol pre-draft" throughts. We will cover
further topics
under "general discussion".
If you've topics to be dicussed under "general discussion"
and would be
interested to present in San Francisco, please send Marshall
and myself a
note ASAP.
Thanks,
