net.sourceforge.beep4j

beep4j is an open-source implementation of the BEEP specification. BEEP is specified in RFC3080 and RFC3081. You find detailed information at the beepcore website . The goal of this project is to build a basic implementation of BEEP in Java. It is unlikely that all the features of BEEP will be implemented.

The BEEP protocol is a definition based on the experience about well-known practices in network protocol design. These practices are found in many frequently used network protocols that have been designed over the last 20 years, and are used day by day. BEEP (Block Extensible Exchange Protocol) includes, in one clear definition, all the features found spread in those protocols but in a coherent, reusable way, that will enable application protocol designers to focus their time on the problem to solve. BEEP is not a protocol for sending and receiving data directly. Rather, it allows you to define your application protocol on top of it, reusing several mechanisms such as: asynchronous communications, transport layer security, peer authentication, channel multiplexing on the same connection, message framing, channel bandwidth management, and many more interesting network features.
