....of the wide area network, and that no unnecessary overhead exists for local communication. In the same way, the wide area network protocol knows nothing about transactions, but just forwards complete messages. The client and server agents together form the gateway, which is called a transformer [17]. A transformer is a session level gateway, since it uses the transport protocol interface.
