Proprietary and open protocols: the trade offs

Article Abstract:

The operations of data communication equipment require a selection of which protocol to use, proprietary or open. A protocol is defined as sets of rule for communicating which are known to both ends of a communications system. Lower-level protocols are concerned with electrical and physical standards. Higher level protocols such as the open and proprietary deal with data format, message syntax, message sequencing and character sets. A discussion of the advantages of the open system over the proprietary protocol is also provided.
