The protocols for the iWay transport utility protocol adapters support email exchanges and file transfers between Internet users. The protocols also support exchanges and file transfers between those connected through TCP/IP and other networks.

iWay transport utility protocol adapters provide tools that simplify the implementation of service-oriented architectures. The simplification is accomplished by reducing the requirement for custom programming when implementing a range of distributed messaging services and file transport services and by providing access to packaged third-party adapter products. By minimizing the amount of code required for their implementation, these adapters provide a solid foundation for flexible service-oriented architecture.
