High-level Protocol Layers (cont’d)
IrLAN:
- Makes it easy for an IrDA device to connect to a local-area network.
-
IrOBEX:
- IR “Object Exchange” ; allow transfer of abstract objects
- Very convenient way to transfer files (most common use)
- Some support for recognizing and handling file type automatically (similar to HTTP)
- Interesting: was actually based on HTTP protocol
Trend seems to be that extensions are getting very specialized...
