Abstract

A method of designing an interface for a messaging system for networks. The method includes the steps of providing a system interface to communicate with an operating system and driver level communication drivers, and using an application interface for transferring payload data between application objects and the system interface. The method could be applied in networks that include both application-level applications and driver-level device drivers.
