Communication of Information between a Plurality of Network Elements
First Claim
1. A method of establishing a communications connection between network devices comprising:
- creating an interchange envelope comprising a connection request at a first network device,transmitting the interchange envelope to a second network device,receiving a response to the connection request from the second network device,creating an encryption key request for the second network device,transmitting the encryption key request to the second network device,receiving an encryption key in response to the encryption key request,creating a start communication protocol process request for the second network device,transmitting the start communication protocol process request to the second network device,receiving a host ready communication in response to the start communication protocol process, andwherein each request and response is classified and processed based upon a first classification sub-field, a second classification sub-field, and a third classification sub-field within each request and response.

Abstract
A communications protocol interface may be configured as being divisible into a core portion and an extensible portion. The extensible portion of the communications protocol interface may be further configured so that each network element can communicate a unique and optimally small subset of actual interoperable data that corresponds to at least a portion of a larger defined data set. A software generator program may be configured to generate a set of extensible source code that operates upon the subset of actual data and that directs the execution of the extensible portion of the communications protocol interface for a particular network element.
