Abstract
A mechanism is provided for network communication. The mechanism establishes a connection between a network server and a network client. The connection is established using a connection-oriented protocol. The network server has a first server configuration stored in a memory of the network server. The first server configuration comprises a set of server parameters specific to a network application that the network server provides to the network client. The mechanism identifies the network client configuration. The mechanism replaces, in the memory of the network server, the first server configuration with a second server configuration. Responsive to a determination that the client configuration is incompatible with the second server configuration, the mechanism disconnects the network client.
