FYI,

My horizons were expanded regarding protocols a bit by reading about the
Internet Engineering Research Groups.  Several seem relevant to Chandler
efforts.  I chose to subscribe to the p2prg mail list.

        http://www.irtf.org/groups.html

Specifically I wasn't aware of the history behind VMTP (RFC 1045), a
product of the End-to-End group.  I found with a google search that it
is academically well cited via citeseer.ist.psu.edu.

Cheers,
