HauptprotokollStack
The HauptprotokollStack (HPS) is a modular software architecture concept designed to unify and manage multiple communication protocols within a single coherent stack. In theoretical and practice-oriented discussions it is presented as a framework for interoperable networked systems where devices and services operate using different protocols.
Architecture: HPS is described as layered and extensible, comprising a Protocol Adapters layer, a Core Protocol
Function: The HauptprotokollStack provides protocol negotiation, translation, encapsulation, and optimization across heterogeneous protocols. It supports dynamic
Modules and features: Protocol Adapters translate between native protocol formats and the HPS internal representation. The
Applications and status: Proposed for research environments, IoT gateways, and enterprise middleware that require cross-protocol coordination.
