Abstract
A method is provided for selectively loading a layered service provider (LSP). The method includes registering at least one category for an installed LSP and registering a list of permitted categories of LSPs for an installed application. The application is then loaded, and the list of permitted categories of LSPs for the installed application is read. The installed LSP is loaded only if the at least one category is included in the list of permitted categories of LSPs.
