Summary: | The system and method of this invention enables a plurality of nodes (A,..., E) in a network to communicate with each other through a communication protocol that will be understood by any node that is a party to the present conversation. Each node may utilize a different version level of a distributed services program that allows nodes to communicate in a distributed environment. At the time a connection is initiated with another node in the network, the highest version level that both nodes have in common is determined. This common version level is then used as the protocol for any further communication. |
