Hi,
what do they mean when they say SOAP is a wire level protocol ? How a wire level protocol may be related to a network protocol ( OSI or TCP/IP)?
Are they un-related ? What is this "wire" ?

I did not find one resource which explains this aspect ? Appreciate your help with this.

thanks
Govi

I always thought that this is the wire connecting my computer to the network, you know the one that is plugged into the TCP/IP port.


Oh Wait, are you using a wireless modem?

I have found the following explanation at this link .
http://www.samspublishing.com/articles/article.asp?p=29603&rl=1


Protocols that facilitate RPC are called wire protocols because they are low-level and require special ports.

That explains a little on why is SOAP a wire protocol.

Appreciate more info on this.

thanks
