Abstract
A service-based networking capability is presented. The service-based networking capability replaces traditional networking connections between endpoints with service connections between endpoints. The service-based networking capability supports establishment and use of a service connection between endpoints, where the service connection between endpoints may be provided below the application layer and above the transport layer. The establishment and use of a service connection between endpoints may be provided using a connected services stack, which may include a connected services layer that is configured to operate below the application layer and above the transport layer.
Claims20
An apparatus, comprising:
- a processor and a memory communicatively connected to the processor, the processor configured to run a connected services stack, the connected services stack comprising a connected services layer configured to operate below an application layer and above a transport layer, the connected services layer configured to support establishment of a service connection between the connected services layer and a remote connected services layer of a remote endpoint.
A method, comprising:
- using a processor and a memory for:
- running a connected services stack, the connected services stack comprising a connected services layer configured to operate below an application layer and above a transport layer, the connected services layer configured to support establishment of a service connection between the connected services layer and a remote connected services layer of a remote endpoint.
A computer-readable storage medium storing instructions which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a method, the method comprising:
- running a connected services stack, the connected services stack comprising a connected services layer configured to operate below an application layer and above a transport layer, the connected services layer configured to support establishment of a service connection between the connected services layer and a remote connected services layer of a remote endpoint.
