16.2 DCE Common Inter-ORB Protocol Overview

   The DCE Common Inter-ORB Protocol uses the wire format and RPC packet formats defined by DCE-RPC to enable independently implemented ORBs to communicate. It defines the message formats that are exchanged using DCE-RPC, and specifies how information in object references is used to establish communication between client and server processes.

    The full OMG IDL for the DCE ESIOP specification is shown in Section 16.7, “OMG IDL for the DCE CIOP Module,? on page 16-25. Fragments are used throughout this chapter as necessary.
