Jörg Ott, Colin Perkins, and Dirk Kutscher, A Message Bus for Local Coordination (.txt|.pdf), Internet Engineering Task Force, May 2001, Work in progress (draft-ietf-mmusic-mbus-transport-05.txt).

Clarify purpose and areas of application; fix ABNF; clarify addressing rules; clarify recommended timer intervals; and make assorted editorial fixes.

Jörg Ott, Colin Perkins, and Dirk Kutscher, A Message Bus for Local Coordination (.txt|.pdf), Internet Engineering Task Force, February 2001, Work in progress (draft-ietf-mmusic-mbus-transport-04.txt).

Clarifications around use of multicast addresses; new baseline crypto algorithms (AES and HMAC-SHA1) and expanded security discussion; and discussion of limitations and future work.

Jörg Ott, Colin Perkins, and Dirk Kutscher, A Message Bus for Local Coordination (.txt|.pdf), Internet Engineering Task Force, November 2000, Work in progress (draft-ietf-mmusic-mbus-transport-03.txt).

Rewrite Abstract and Introduction; add common formal syntax rules, and update ABNF; timestamps are in milliseconds, not seconds; remove conferencing specific text; split transport into multicast/broadcast and directed unicast, and clarify text; and significant editorial fixes.

Jörg Ott, Colin Perkins, and Dirk Kutscher, A Message Bus for Local Coordination (.txt|.pdf), Internet Engineering Task Force, July 2000, Work in progress (draft-ietf-mmusic-mbus-transport-02.txt).

Fix ABNF; add section 8 on "Awareness of other Entities"; add mbus.ping message; update protocol constants.

Jörg Ott, Colin Perkins, and Dirk Kutscher, A Message Bus for Local Coordination (.txt|.pdf), Internet Engineering Task Force, January 2000, Work in progress (draft-ietf-mmusic-mbus-transport-01.txt).

Changes from the last version: the draft is a stand-alone, application independent specification of the Mbus transport protocol and bootstrapping procedures and no longer contains conference control specific elements; the Mbus security and configuration parts have been moved from the appendix to the main part as they are required in order to build interoperable implementations; there is a new mandatory address element, that allows to identify Mbus entities uniquely; and added ABNF definitions for message and configuration entity syntax.

Initial working group version. Expands Introduction and Definition of Terms. Updates the addressing scheme in Section 3.2. Clarifies use of transport ports. Fixes ABNF.
