Lightweight Presentation Protocol


Lightweight Presentation Protocol is a protocol used to provide ISO presentation services on top of TCP/IP based protocol stacks. It is defined in RFC 1085.
The Lightweight Presentation Protocol describes an approach for providing "streamlined" support of OSI model-conforming application services on top of TCP/IP-based network for some constrained environments. It was initially derived from a requirement to run the ISO Common Management Information Protocol in TCP/IP-based networks.
