This specification also makes provision for an open-ended set of Environment-Specific Inter-ORB Protocols (ESIOPs). Such protocols
would be used for “out of the box? interoperation at user sites where a particular networking or distributing computing infrastructure
is already in general use.
Because of the opportunity to leverage and build on facilities provided by the specific environment, ESIOPs might support
specialized capabilities such as those relating to security and administration.
While ESIOPs may be optimized for particular environments, all ESIOP specifications will be expected to conform to the general
ORB interoperability architecture conventions to enable easy bridging. The inter-ORB bridge support enables bridges to be
built between ORB domains that use the IIOP and ORB domains that use a particular ESIOP.
