Multiprotocol Gateway SDL Description.

摘要

Present telecommunication networks use on of many different protocol suites to interconnect their services. Networks employing different protocols cannot communicate with one another because the diverse protocols are incompatible. To address this protocol incompatibility issue it was recommended to develop mechanisms, such as gateways that provide protocol conversion, to interconnect networks using diverse protocols. These devices will act as translators between the two networks while maintaining communications with each network in its native language. (rh)
