Wireless Session Protocol WSP is an open standard ref http www.openmobilealliance.net technical release program docs Browser Protocol Stack V2 1 20050204 OMA WAP TS WSP V1 0 20020920 C.pdf WSP Specification Open Mobile Alliance web site ref for maintaining high level session. Wireless session is nothing but a normal Web browser Web browsing session that starts when the user connects to one URL and ends when the user leaves that URL. By establishing the session means that the session wide properties need only to be defined once at the beginning of the session. This has the benefit of saving bandwidth due to the nature of the wireless communication. The session establishing process will not have lengthy hand shaking mechanisms. WSP is based on HTTP 1.1 with few enhancements. WSP provides the upper level application layer of WAP with a consistent interface for two session services. The first is a connection oriented service that operates above a transaction layer protocol Wireless Transaction Protocol WTP and the second is a connectionless service that operates above a secure or non secure datagram transport service. Therefore, WSP exists for two reasons. First, in the connection mode it enhances the HTTP 1.1 s performance over wireless environment. Second, it provides a session layer so the whole WAP environment resembles ISO OSI model OSI Reference Model .

Refimprove date December 2009 In computer networking , a wire protocol refers to a way of getting data from point to point A wire protocol is needed if more than one application has to interoperate. ref name Definition cite web accessdate 2011 04 11 location http www.pcmag.com publisher PCMAG.COM title Definition of wire protocol quote 1 In a network, it is the mechanism for transmitting data from point a to point b. It often refers to a distributed object protocol such as SOAP, CORBA or RMI, which is software only and which invokes the running of programs on remote servers. The term is a bit confusing, because it sounds like the physical layer layer 1 of the network that places the bits onto the wire. In some cases, it may refer to this layer however, it generally refers to protocols higher than the physical layer or even the next higher data link layer layer 2 such as Ethernet and ATM.

IPstack In computer networking , the Bootstrap Protocol , or BOOTP , is a network protocol used by a network client to obtain an IP address from a configuration server. The BOOTP protocol was originally defined in RFC 951. BOOTP is usually used during the booting bootstrap process when a computer is starting up. A BOOTP configuration server assigns an IP address to each client from a pool of addresses. BOOTP uses the User DatagramProtocol UDP as a transport on IPv4 networks only. Historically, BOOTP has also been used for Unix like diskless workstation s to obtain the network location of their boot ... embedded the protocol in the BIOS of the interface cards as well as system boards with on board ...

External Machine Interface EMI , an extension to Universal Computer Protocol UCP , is a Communications protocolprotocol primarily used to connect to short message service centre s SMSCs for mobile telephone s. The protocol was developed by CMG company CMG Wireless Data Solutions, now part of Acision . Syntax A typical EMI UCP exchange looks like this B01 00045 O 30 66677789 1 68656C6C6F CE C B01 00041 R 30 A 66677789 180594141236 F3 C The start of the Packet information technology packet is signaled by B STX, hex 02 and the end with C ETX, hex 03 . Fields within the packet are separated by characters. The first four fields form the mandatory header. the third is the operation type O for operation, R for result , and the fourth is the operation here 30, short message transfer . The subsequent fields are dependent on the operation. In the first line above, 66677789 is the recipient s address telephone number and 68656C6C6F is the content of the message, in this case the ASCII string hello . The second line is the response with a matching transaction reference number, where A indicates that the message was successfully acknowledged by the SMSC, and a timestamp is suffixed to the phone number to show time of delivery. The final field is the checksum , calculated simply by summing all bytes in the packet including slashes and taking the 8 least significant bit s from the result. The full specification is available on the LogicaCMG website developers forum, but registration is required.

DatagramProtocol UDP over IP. The IP in the delivery protocol could run over any data link protocol from IEEE 802.2 over IEEE 802.3 i.e., standards based Ethernet to the Point to Point Protocol PPP ...Computer network s use a tunneling protocol when one network protocol the delivery protocol encapsulation networking encapsulates a different payload protocol . By using tunneling one can for example carry a payload over an incompatible delivery network, or provide a secure path through an untrusted network. Tunneling typically contrasts with a layered protocol model such as those of Open Systems Interconnection OSI or TCP IP . The delivery protocol usually but not always operates at a higher level in the model than does the payload protocol, or at the same level. To understand a particular protocol stack, network engineers must understand both the payload and delivery protocol sets. As an example of network layer over network layer, Generic Routing Encapsulation GRE , a protocol running over IP IP protocol IP Protocol Number 47 , often serves to carry IP packets, with RFC 1918 private addresses, over the Internet using delivery packets with public IP addresses. In this case, the delivery and payload protocols are compatible, but the payload addresses are incompatible with those of the delivery network.

According to the RFC requirements, compression must be done before IP fragmentation fragmenting or encrypting the packet. It further states that each datagram must be compressed independently so it can be decompressed even if received out of order. This is important because it allows IPComp to work with both Transmission Control Protocol TCP and User Datagram Protocol UDP network communications.

Protocol overhead refers to metadata and network routing information sent by an computer application application , which uses a portion of the available Bandwidth computing bandwidth of a communications protocol . This extra data, making up the protocol headers and application specific information is referred to as overhead, since it does not contribute to the content of the message. Protocol overhead can be expressed as a percentage of non application byte s protocol and frame synchronization divided by the total number of bytes in the message.

A binary protocol is a network protocolprotocol which is intended or expected to be read by a machine rather than a human being, as opposed to a plain text protocol such as IRC , SMTP , or HTTP . Binary protocols have the advantage of terseness, which translates into speed of transmission and interpretation. There has always been tension between two software development camps that believe new protocols should preferably be text based or binary, respectively. In recent years, with the ready availability of network bandwidth and mass storage, the text based camp has been gaining significant ground XML based systems are nearly ubiquitous but the debate continues ref http www.webservices.org weblog mark little soap for the masses A representative discussion of text and binary protocol debate, by Mark Little ref .
