ABSTRACT:
An integrating component exposes a connection interface for creating and maintaining connections. A proxy client component is disclosed that interacts with a known application-level interface and converts known application-level interface commands into appropriate commands for the connection interface of the integrating component. The proxy client component interacts with the integrating component to represent underlying connection-oriented devices and attendant device characteristics to the known application-level interface. This allows an application programmer to take advantage of a connection-oriented I/O subsystem and underlying connection-oriented devices without requiring the programmer to learn another interface. Benefits include the ability to dynamically redirect a data stream received over a created connection from one data transport to another under application control. This is useful in multimedia applications where different types of data may come over the same connection.
