I just nuked this page. There was alot of rambeling on here about tranfering BLOBS between peers over JXTA sockets. I just discovered BEEP (http://beepcore.org). See also RDF 3117 (http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc3117.html) for a far better discussion about protocols that I could attempt to give here.
BEEP can do everything that a well behaved BLOB transfer engine should be able to do.
- Its point to point
- reliable
- lightweight and low overhead
- supports channels; multiple streams over a single physical transport connection
- support channel profiles; several protocols, not just FTP coul be run over a single connection
- support 'port numbering' to aid in rounting incomming messages to the correct part of the application
But by far the biggest benefit is it already exists and is well defined. Im going to try to build a transport for BEEP based on the BEEP TCPTransport and JxtaSocket?. Check back here to see how this goes.
