System and method for a dynamic protocol framework

Abstract

A dynamic protocol framework system comprising a registry containing object-oriented elements, each element corresponding to a resource protocol component available to the system; a configurator unit for building one or more candidate protocol stacks from the elements based on protocol specifications and for building and configuring a functional protocol stack from one of the candidate stacks; and a synchronization manager monitoring the building and re-configuration of protocol stacks for consistency with the protocol specifications and monitoring for compatibility and interoperability of protocol stacks of end-to-end communicating processes.
