Hello WG,

sorry for the duplicate - hit enter accidently...

I am implementing BEEP-based RFC 3195 (reliable syslog via BEEP). RFC
3195 uses MSG/RPY for message transfer. As I have seen and verified,
MSG/RPY is full-duplex that is there can be more than one MSG send
without an RPY.

This is a sample:

I: MSG 1
I: MSG 2
I: MSG 3
L: RPY 2
L: RPY 1
L: RPY 3

The sample is the exact sequence of what and when was send be initiator
(I:) and listener (L:). I see the value of having this ability,
especially in high-latency environments.

However, I did not see any window size mentioned for this. So it falls
back to a window of 2^32, which I think is a bit large.

Although this probably is not a big issue, I suggest that a window is
defined in the case RFC 3080 is revised some time.

If I am wrong with my comment, I would obviously like to get some
correction ;)

Many thanks,
Rainer
