Abstract

   This memo describes the design principles for the Blocks eXtensible
   eXchange Protocol (BXXP).  BXXP is a generic application protocol
   framework for connection-oriented, asynchronous interactions.  The
   framework permits simultaneous and independent exchanges within the
   context of a single application user-identity, supporting both
   textual and binary messages.
