Re: [ebxml-msg] Node type definitions

Ian,

I assume that in you're definition you're talking about receipt of data 
/ messages on the transport level, i.e. the http connection? So in the 
store and forwatd/collect case the message is only forwarded or made 
available when it is completely received by the intermediary. And in the 
streaming case data received is forwarded immediately after the 
intermediairy has made a routing decision.

Sander
