Abstract

Embodiments of the invention are generally directed to a system and method for pluggable protocol handlers to route message traffic between communication partners. In an embodiment, a protocol independent connection manager receives a message from a communication partner over a network connection. The connection manager calls a dynamically loadable protocol handler to process and route the received message to a subsequent communication partner. In one embodiment, the network connection is a multiplexed network connection.
