>From the hardcopy issue of InfoWorld (June 10, 2002, Issue 23, p. 43):
"Routing, the core technology of the Internet, is emerging as a way to coordinate interaction among SOAP actors on a global scale. SOAP routing is described in two of Microsoft's Global XML Architecture specifications. WS-Routing defines how to specify the route a SOAP messae takes through a chain of intermediaries. WS-Referral empowers those intermediaries to modify the route. These proposals are thus far just trial balloons, but early products such as KnowNow's Event Router ... anticipate a trend toward increasingly active intermediaries." How might this be implemented in Cisco routers and switches? Whether it's Microsoft's .Net or the Java Consortium's J2EE web services, this seems like a new area that may impact how we design and configure networks. -- TT Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=46577&t=46577 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
