protocolsnets
Protocolsnets are an architectural abstraction for organizing and governing networks of communication protocols. A protocolnet treats individual protocols as first-class components, or nodes, that can be composed, negotiated, and executed to facilitate end-to-end interactions across diverse systems. The concept emphasizes interoperability, dynamic reconfiguration, and policy-driven behavior across heterogeneous networks.
Architecture of protocolsnets comprises protocol nodes, adapters, brokers, and a protocol registry or ledger. Nodes implement
Operation in a protocolnet begins with session initiation, where the system selects a sequence of protocols
Applications of protocolsnets are proposed for interoperability in Internet of Things, cloud and edge environments, software-defined
Challenges and status: protocolsnets are a relatively new or exploratory concept, with ongoing work in standardization,
