BXPP: 'HTTP on steroids' to ease protocol work

The Blocks Extensible Exchange Protocol (BXXP) is the brainchild of Marshall Rose, an expert on network management, messaging and directory services, who helped write several key Internet standards including Post Office Protocol 3, Simple Message Transfer Protocol and SNMP. Rose's latest creation is a general-purpose framework for creating Internet applications protocols that serve as an alternative to the aging HTTP used for Web browsing. This article from Network World Fusion News explains all.

Network Time Synchronization Project Home Page

The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is widely used in the Internet to synchronize computer clocks to national standard time. The NTP architecture, protocol and algorithms have evolved over almost two decades to the NTP Version 3 specification and implementations for Unix, VMS and Windows, as well as the NTP Version 4 implementation now in development. The architecture and security models provide for operation in point-to-point (unicast) and point-to-multipoint (multicast) modes, and include provisions for secure authentication using both symmetric key and public key cryptography.
