    Here is a proposal alternative to AS2-Restart for large message handling. 
    It introduces a SOAP-based splitting/joining protocol that composes with
    ebMS.

    The document named Message Splitting and Joining Protocol Proposal (Message
    Splitting.odt) has been submitted by Mr. Pim van der Eijk to the OASIS
    ebXML Messaging Services TC document repository.
    
    Document Description:
    This chapter specifies a protocol for transmitting a large SOAP-rooted,
    MIME Multipart/Related envelope (SWA and MTOM) message as a series of SOAP
    message fragments. The protocol composes with other SOAP protocols
    security, addressing, reliable messaging and ebMS. An implementation of the
    protocol operates as a discrete module in a SOAP processing pipeline. The
    protocol defines how a sending MSH can split a message in fragments and a
    receiving MSH can reassemble it from its fragments in an interoperable
    way.
    While the protocol can be used with other Web Services profiles, its main
    goal is to support transfer of large ebMS messages. The main benefits of
    the protocol in that context are:
    Support for both push and pull message exchange (whereas the AS2 restart
    feature is limited to push exchanges);
    Reliable messaging is leveraged to transmit (and, if needed, retransmit)
    fragments;
    The upper bound of the delays caused by a using store-and-forward
    intermediary and the temporary storage space needed by such an intermediary
    are proportional to the fragment size, rather than to the message size. 
    Fragments can be routed individually through a multi-hop network. Fragments
    may follow different paths from sender to recipient. If one intermediary
    fails and traffic is re-routed via an alternative route, only the
    undelivered fragments need to be resent.
    The (optional) compression feature applies to the entire MIME envelope
    (rather than individual payloads, as in the AS4 compression feature) and
    includes the SOAP header.
    The protocol composes with the ebMS message bundling feature.
