The architect is Greg Chesson). XTP is suppose to occupy level three and four in the ISO OSI refernce model. It is suppose to allow Real-Time communication across a network. Does anyone have some experience with XTP? Can anyone give some insights into the difference between XTP and other transport protocols? (such as TCP or VMTP) Has anyone had the chance to form opinions about XTP that they would care to share? I will post responses that are emailed to me (See the addres below), but I read all these news groups so email or posting makes no difference to me.

Does anyone know where I can find a description of the XTP protocol? Email or FTP is preferred, but I'd be happy to find a reference to a paper. Thanks.
