AS2 Reliability Draft for "Once and Only Once" Delivery

A new Internet Draft addressing reliable delivery of AS2 messages is available at: 
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-duker-as2-reliability-00.txt       for review and discussion.

The purpose of the draft is to define ways to ensure that AS2 messages are delivered "once and only once". One key aspect is to ensure that AS2 implementations do not pass "Duplicate Messages" on to back-end business applications. The ultimate goal is to gain agreement on standard approaches so that all AS2 software implementations can deliver this functionality. We look forward to comments and suggestions from all interested parties.
