is the paper I was referencing.
We've been using these ideals as core tenents in designing IETF
protocol for a while now. Of course everyone can disagree with
anything but I like the points they make.
Hmmm, interesting paper. However, I was hoping for something a little
more helpful than "application framing is the most efficient" and
"minimize presentation processing".
While this advice is probably true, it is a bit of a platitude. We
accept slight inefficiencies in many engineering fields in return for
"decomposability". Unfortunately, application framing is almost always
minimally decomposable.
The paper really does not provide much valuable advice for how to
balance the pull between application framing and protocol
decomposability. I was somewhat disappointed.
