Interesting, can you provide some historical context around it so I understand better ?
Actually I know that your relay's protocol (and about what I see in abstract) was about optimizing propagation time and not bandwidth.

And I agree that bandwidth is what need to be optimized for nodes.
So far there was two other proposal that I know only from name and theory which is xthin block and ILBT which would also have decreased bandwidth. 

Can you quickly describe how does it compares to them ?
