Subject: [9fans] streams
Date: Sun, 20 Feb 2011 01:35:28 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <e9dcbb4575bd9e996107205d6ef24358@terzarima.net> (raw)

i think it might be helpful to have a transport protocol along the lines
of Bryan Ford's SST, which allows a stream to create substreams
with separate flow control and other attributes. a primary 9p stream
might create a substream for a large Tread or Twrite.
the facility could be emulated for existing protocols, although addressing
puzzles make that trickier that one might like. the demo SST implementation
was built on UDP. a service to resolve addressing puzzles might be useful too.
