Description of Working Group

The IETF BEEP working group shall develop a standards-track application
protocol framework for connection-oriented, asynchronous
request/response interactions.

The framework must permit multiplexing of independent request/response
streams over a single transport conneciton, supporting both textual and
binary messages.

The working group will use BXXP (as described in
draft-mrose-bxxp-framework and draft-mrose-bxxp-tcpmapping) as its
starting point. Although not encouraged, non-backwards-compatible
changes to BXXP will be acceptable if the working group determines that
the changes are required to meet the group's technical objectives and
the group clearly documents the reasons for making them.
