That doesn't seem right :-) But then again it doesn't stream, at least in the traditional way I think of streaming. To stream you typically need flow control, so 9P isn't good for streaming in the sense I think of streaming. (yet?) Fix 9P or don't is the decision to be made. --000e0cdf1b86b1f30c0485616df7 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

- reliable,
- in order.
(the other three are not hard requirements)

i would think that Tstream has greater requirements.
it would seem to require flow control.
