Given our experience with file transfers, several things seem to be called for:

1) There should be a mechanism for the sender to initiate. Several of the use cases you cite are such that the sender would better than the receiver when it is a good time to send the data.

2) I realize that it does not fit the pattern, but without some sort of position indication, this seems very fragile. I think you need to come up with a way to indicate the position.

3) Unless we want to restrict this to very local environments, we really should have a way to resume a failed transfer at the failure point, rather than start from teh beginning.

In particular, without these features, the justification for using GRASP rather than a better transfer protocol over the ANIMA infrastructure becomes very weak.

Yours,
Joel
