I mean the TCP stack itself. The bugs in first Trumpet and then MS Winsock caused many problems throughout the years since Internet flourished. (AFAIK, since 1993-4). All the coders chose to implement top-level protocols (like you) and it was left to MS for doing the complex TCP job... Regards, S

Hello Hoby, I think if he wants his protocol to prevail, he will need to document it very well then. Coding binary protocols are inherently more difficult for people beginner to it. That's why I gave the TCP example. Also, with today's fast CPUs, it would not matter if there were a few more bytes

Hello SZ... Astute observation about "formats" vs. "protocols". However, I don't think that David has done away with TCP/IP, the transport protocol used for sending the email with. In a sense, all layer 7 solutions can really be considered a "format" in a TCP payload. So, the distinction really

MP3 is not a protocol but a file format. You are right that TCP/UDP uses binary headers but we are talking about a high level protocol, which if popularized, will be coded by third party coders according to RFC and this I believe will not be so trivial for the binary case! ICS has codes for SMTP/PO

Actually, IMNSHO (In My Not So Humble Opinion), binary protocols make much smarter sense for binary machines. Even with the discrepancies of the various flavors of binary formats (big vs little endian, etc), it is WAY MORE EFFICIENT for binary machines to use binary protocols than to interpret hum
