Problem Statement / scenario :  deriving from a problem statement that was encountered at veritas software corp,

                                 viz. the company maintains a stack of it products ...in its portfolio.

                                 given the norm that each product uses a unique port for communications ....

                                 on a installation base at the client or consumers ...for each product installation,

                                 expecting the client to open-up a port for external communications ...viz. error reporting
                                 or product update's ...make's it a clumsy and cumber some scenario.

                                 also refer to the document "opportunity__MIME_design_computing_standard.txt",

                     ability to use a single port on the fire-wall ...for multiple communication's...emulate NAT on the
                     data-stream

                     in context refer to projects.pdf , as envisaged in

Opportunity a): given the context of the generic nature of the problem ...encountered across the companies.
              usage of the XML-RPC ...data stream ...than can contain or encode parsable binary-data into the data stream,
              offer's ideal proposition.

              xml-dtd offering virtual stack of layers atop the osi stack and the TCP/ip packet stream
              [...thus a sequence or stream of XML-DTD ] or given the context of NAT and session state maintainence by the
              daemon servicing the port on the firewall ...with the port to which stream needs to be forwarded being the key,
              ...for communication ...understanding xml-sax offer's better visualization of the envisaged concept of 
              technology (simulated on SAN sanpoint control data gathering from the san fabric)

              having a daemon [...ideally rewrite ...the inetd (threads)...to handle specific scenario ...customized for/to ] on the fire-wall,

              ...on the port opened for communication XML aware ...make's it easy to
              leverage ...NAT or other concepts present in the TCP/IP stack or OSI level.


Opportunity b): deriving from  a) as also ...further to as envisage in projects.pdf and elsewhere by this individual.

 
                using XML-rpc can be used to simulate or emulate ...socket programming in a innovative context ...that
                can circumvent many a...problem scenario...or limitations encountered in the OSI stack or layer level.

                     
       
 Note: The above problem statement having been encountered in various scenarios
      and detailed in various 'Proof of concepts' as mentioned in 
      
       http://uk.geocities.com/ravivenkatus/projects.pdf
       http://ravishankarkv.tripod.com/projects.pdf
        ....apply appropriate
      'use-case' modeling, rationalize and arrive at a workable and feasible 
       solution both commercially and techinically viable.
