There are a number of important issues, such as: - When should the protocol converter modify data, and not modify data - Should the protocol converter keeps its own data base of transactions, which can be used to enhance later transactions with data from earlier transactions (example: If an incoming e-mail is converted from Internet mail to vendor-specific mail, you save the original mail in Internet format, to use if you need to send it back to Internet again.) Question: Does anyone know of anything written on this issue of protocol conversion? Any input for the paper which the students are to work on? (Note: Their area is not e-mail, I just gave that for an example above.) -- Jacob Palme <jpalme@dsv.su.se> (Stockholm University and KTH) for more info see URL: http://www.dsv.su.se/jpalme/
