  • BINKD Multi-Batch

    From deon@3:633/509 to All on Fri Oct 3 09:11:12 2025
    Howdy,

    I noticed that binkd advertises binkp 1.1, but does it do multi batch?

    I know multi batch is a propsal FSP-1024 (and another reference in a document advertising as FSP-1011).

    If it doesnt do multibatch what does it do over 1.0?

    It should receive multiple batches and do multi-batch on file request, if an external FREQ processor is configured. I'm not sure if it does a rescan of the outbound after M_EOB.

    I know multi batch is a propsal FSP-1024 (and another reference in a document advertising as FSP-1011).

    FDP-1024 is the specification for binkp/1.1, AFAIK. "Proposal" ist the FTSC document status, because many many years ago the FTSC stopped doing any relevant work on focused on yearly elections.

    If it doesnt do multibatch what does it do over 1.0?

    Single batch / Close the connection after it has sent and received the first M_EOB?

    It should receive multiple batches and do multi-batch on file request, if an external FREQ processor is configured. I'm not sure if it does a rescan of the outbound after M_EOB.

    From what I've seen it doesnt. Nor does it wait for a second EOB from the remote if it sent something to it.

    Yep, that's what I've noticed.

    So hence my question - it advertises 1.1, but what's different from 1.0?

    request, if an external FREQ processor is configured. I'm not sure
    if it does a rescan of the outbound after M_EOB.

    From what I've seen it doesnt. Nor does it wait for a second EOB from
    the remote if it sent something to it.

    So the file from the file request is received in the next poll?

    It would be.

    But I'm not testing file requests per se.

    Anyway, I'm more interested/curios to know what's different from binkp 1.0 and hence why it announces 1.1.
