Common protocol layer architecture and methods for transmitting data between different network protocols and a common protocol packet
First Claim
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.

Abstract
The present invention provides common protocol architecture and methods for transmitting data between different network protocols and a common protocol packet. The common protocol architecture comprises an application layer; a common protocol layer positioned under the application layer, the common protocol layer enabling data communications between the different 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. The common protocol packet comprises a common protocol header with information about a packet and a payload with the contents of data. By designing the common protocol layer and the common protocol packet accepting various. protocols simultaneously, the present invention can improve compatibility between different protocols.
