Re: [XCON] BFCP over UDP

[Lorenzo Miniero <lorenzo at meetecho.com>]

Hi Roni,

I also think this would be a very useful solution to have, and would
support a new document addressing the UDP case. For what concerns
fragmentation, however, this is probably an orthogonal issue, since in
my opinion it may affect the BFCP/TCP as well.

When working on the implementation of the protocol, in fact, we noticed
how large BFCP messages could easily become, and so I raised this issue
on the ML:

http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/xcon/current/msg01920.html

but it didn't seem to gather much interest at the time. Anyway, if
anyone is interested in working on this in the future (be it as part of
a potential new BFCP/UDP document or somewhere else), I'd be glad to
cooperate.

Lorenzo
