Mux: Channels • Frames exchanged in context of "channel" • Associated "profile" defines syntax, semantics • "Profile Registration" template defines how profile identified (using an URI) • Channel 0 used for channel management • Examples • Channel that negotiates transport security • REQ . 1 0 94 0 <start number='1'> <profile uri='http:/...' /> </start> END
Mux: Parallelism • Each channel processes requests serially • No constraints on the processing order between different channels.
Mux: Flow control • Replicate mechanism used by TCP • Sequence numbers seqno • Sliding window "SEQ" SP channel SP ackno SP window CR LF • Go home...
