METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONVERTING FIRST APPLICATION LAYER PROTOCOL INTO SECOND APPLICATION LAYER PROTOCOL IN COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To convert a first application layer protocol into a second application layer protocol in a communications network.;SOLUTION: A request in the first application layer protocol is received from a requesting node in an application node. The request is sent to a converter node to translate a message to the second application layer protocol. The converted request is then sent back to the application node from the converter node. The application node can then construct a response to the request, which is also translated by the converter node, before it responds to the requesting node.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
