Network multiplexing and framing protocol for RPC

Design goals

• Easy to implement in multiple languages, especially JS and Python.
• High performance forwarding path. Intermediaries can make a forwarding decision quickly.
• Request / response model with out of order responses. Slow requests will not block subsequent faster requests at head of line.
• Large requests/responses may/must be broken into fragments to be sent progressively.
• Optional checksums.
• Can be used to transport multiple protocols between endpoints, eg. HTTP+JSON and Thrift.
