Components of the WAP architecture<br />

The layered design for the protocol stack on the WAP architecture allows an<br />

extensible <strong>and</strong> scalable application development environment for mobile<br />

devices. Each layer provides a set of functions or services, or both, to the other<br />

layers above <strong>and</strong> to the other services <strong>and</strong> applications. Figure 18-3 shows the<br />

WAP stack architecture.<br />

By separating the service interfaces from the protocols that provide those<br />

services, the WAP architecture allows the evolution of the specifications <strong>and</strong> the<br />

selection of the most appropriate protocol for any given context. Services in the<br />

the stack can be provided by more than one protocol.<br />
