High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Binkp is a protocol for transferring FidoNet mail over reliable connections.Historically, Fidonet traffic was transferred mainly over serial (RS-232) modem connections which might not have an error correction layer. These dial-up-oriented protocols for transferring Fidonet traffic like EMSI or Zmodem had to implement error-recovery. When the members of Fidonet started to use TCP/IP to transfer Fidonet traffic, this error-recovery overhead became unnecessary. Assuming that the connection is reliable makes it possible to eliminate error-checking and unnecessary synchronization steps, achieving both ease of implementation and improved performance. The major advantage of binkp vs EMSI and Zmodem is achieved over connections with large delays and low bandwidth.
