JDENet Communication Middleware

To communicate with each other across a network, the two computers must share a communications protocol (or set of protocols). A communications protocol is a formal set of rules that specifies the format and relationship for exchanging data among different devices. The communication middleware is concerned with these protocol layers:

Middleware	Protocol Layers
Network Layer	The network layer handles addressing and routing information, error checking, and retransmission requests.
Transport Layer	The transport layer provides connection-oriented data-delivery services across networks. This layer provides end-to-end data exchanges in which systems maintain a session or connection with each other for the reliable, sequenced exchange of data. EnterpriseOne supports the TCP/IP protocol suite.
Application Layer	The application layer provides application-to-application interaction and data exchange. JDENet is the application layer communication middleware.
