XML Enabled Networking provides an abstraction layer that exists alongside the traditional Internet Protocol (IP) network. This layer addresses the security, incompatibility and latency issues encumbering XML messages, web services and service oriented architectures (SOAs). Many organizations have adopted XML technologies - often as Web services or service oriented architectures (SOAs) - as the standard for new application development and integration. Applications based on XML and Web services offer rapid interoperability and seamless service re-use by establishing a standard data format and a standard interface. XML Security Gateways or XML Firewalls offer comprehensive XML security processing. XML Security Gateways include acceleration and integration functionality.
