Multi-protocol architectures as a paradigm for achieving inter-operability
Russell Clark, Mostafa Ammar, Kenneth L. Calvert · 2002
An inclusive approach to achieving heterogeneous system interoperability based on the use of multiprotocol architectures is considered. A detailed description of a framework and model for describing and constructing multiprotocol architectures is given. A case study based on architectures that mix protocols from the OSI and Internet suites is then described. Solutions to the problem of determining which set of protocols to use for a particular communication task are proposed.>
