Hello all,

I have uploaded the following document:
http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-greevenbosch-core-minimum-request-interval/

The document replaces draft-greevenbosch-core-block-minimum-time, but since the mechanism is now defined for a broader usage than just block transactions (e.g. the client browses the server), I thought a rename was appropriate.

The draft describes a mechanism in which server and client communicate about the request frequency the client is using (or rather, its reciprocal being the request interval). In this way, the server has explicit means to slow down or speed up the client when appropriate.

The draft now allows to update the timing during the transaction, whereas draft-...-block-minimum-time fixed the speed at the beginning of the transaction.

Comments are welcome!

Best regards,
Bert
