As I mentioned, this design seems unlikely to work well in common "cloud" CDN 
models, because the requests that make up one "loop" will likely be 
load-balanced across several EPP session servers.

It would help to have a clearer sense of what "cloud-friendly" means here.  In 
my view, the proposed design is not "cloud-friendly", because it is likely to 
be broken if deployed in the most natural way using an HTTP gateway.

Does this draft document an existing deployed protocol, or is it proposing a 
new one?  If the protocol is already deployed and not subject to significant 
revision, then the proposed status should be "Informational".


If the IETF has change control, then I suspect EPP-over-WebSocket would be an 
easier way to pass EPP through HTTP cloud infrastructure.
