The Blink Protocol · Background

http://www.blinkprotocol.org/s/background.html

Make Every Word Tell. The case for Blink is that existing protocols are limiting, in that they are either not flexible and extensible, or are not in themselves rendering the message in a concise encoding. We designed Blink to do all of the above with as few compromises as possible. We are releasing Blink to promote adoption of an open alternative. Blink can be applied in several layers in the communications stack, such as the application and the session layers. Came up with the original design for what l...

The Blink Protocol · Scenarios

http://www.blinkprotocol.org/s/scenarios.html

An order routing protocol needs at least some of the flexibility of FIX to be widely applicable, and it also needs to be extensible. The FIX protocol can be encoded, as is, on Blink in an interoperable way by applying the FIX/Blink Specification. Doing so makes FIX go faster but not competitively so, until the FIX session and application layers are reformed. Pantor has implemented a lean order routing protocol over Blink and UDP in the Ordo platform. Protocols can be categorized in tiers. There are w...

The Blink Protocol · FAQ

http://www.blinkprotocol.org/s/faq.html

You've chosen a novel schema and message grammar. Did you consider XML for the schema? We think our grammar is more human friendly. We plan to add an XML schema format and conversion tools from the Blink grammar to and from XML, as a bridge to other XML sources. It makes sense to use other repository formats as a source for schemas, as the Blink schema grammar is not suited for a large amount of ancillary information such as structured documentation. Why isn't Blink built on top of ASN.1? The idea is to ...

The Blink Protocol · Properties

http://www.blinkprotocol.org/s/props.html

Blink has the following essential properties. An integrated, easy to use protocol specification language. Compact - a straightforward, efficient, and compact binary transfer format. Blink minimizes the number of encoding artifacts, primitive constructs, and the ways they can be combined,. Encoders and decoders can be efficiently implemented in software or hardware, and. Encoded messages are reasonably compact due to the extensive use of variable length encoded data fields and the lack of inline meta data.
