<p>A multiprotocol service discovery system includes computer applications and a middleware layer connected to a computer network having one or more protocol implementations. The middleware layer receives requests from the computer applications, forwards the requests to the protocol implementations, receives responses to the requests from the protocol implementations, and returns the responses to the computer applications. In some embodiments, the middleware layer automatically routes service discovery requests to appropriate ones of the protocol implementations using a routing element. In still other embodiments, the middleware layer additionally or alternatively performs protocol conversion and translation which converts between common formats used by the computer applications and protocol specific formats used by the protocol implementations.</p> |
