1. A common protocol layer architecture for transmitting data between different network protocols adopting the OSI reference model which divides the function of communicating between applications in a communication network into specific simplified tasks, the common protocol layer architecture comprising:

  • an application layer positioned at the top of the layer architecture;

    a common protocol layer positioned under the application layer, the common protocol layer enabling data communications between the different network protocols;

    a presentation layer positioned under the common protocol layer;

    a session layer positioned under the presentation layer;

    a transport layer positioned under the session layer;

    a network layer positioned under the transport layer;

    a data link layer positioned under the network layer; and

    a physical layer positioned under the data link layer.
