protocolcentric
Protocolcentric describes a design, development, or evaluation approach that places defined communication protocols at the center of a system’s architecture and interoperability. In this view, the behavior, interfaces, and data exchanges of components are governed primarily by formal protocol specifications rather than by implementation details or particular platforms.
In computing and networking, a protocolcentric stance emphasizes explicit protocol definitions, message formats, state machines, and
Applications of protocolcentric thinking span networking, distributed systems, security, and Internet of Things. In networking, protocol-centric
Benefits of a protocolcentric approach include improved interoperability, modularity, and vendor neutrality, as well as easier
