Abstract:
A method for converting a protocol of a transaction capabilities application part message between a transmission control protocol/internet protocol implementation and a user datagram protocol/internet protocol implementation, comprising the steps of:(a) receiving the transaction capabilities application part message from a sender;(b) determining the protocol of the transaction capabilities application part message;(c) if in step (b) it is determined that the protocol of the transaction capabilities application part message is the transmission control protocol/internet protocol implementation, pulling an internet protocol address off of a stack;(d) determining whether an additional transaction capabilities application part message is within a transmission control protocol/internet protocol frame;e converting the protocol of the transaction capabilities application part message between the user datagram protocol/internet protocol implementation and the transmission control protocol/internet protocol implementation; andf sending the transaction capabilities application part message.
