Fun with Internet RFCs

I thought you might be interested in RFC 2795, which contains a novel protocol that might be used in the video project. I'm already working on incorporating some of the features into our existing code...

Thanks for pointing this out to me. I think standards compatibility is always an issue. If we want to go that way, then interoperation with the wireless communications standard (RFC 1149,* with the QoS extensions described in RFC 2549) is a definitive MUST. We should also be compatible with the high-speed standards (RFCs 1216/1217). We also must make sure that our work is not subject to obsoletion soon; observing RFC 2550 may help ther. Adapting RFCs 748 and 1097 for our purpose might be worthwile as well. If we plan on making our stuff into an Internet RFC, a good description of the standards process can be found in RFC 2551.

Thanks again for letting me know about this great step forward!
