Abstract
A transmitting communication device is provided, and includes a processor and a memory. The memory has computer-executable instructions stored therein, which, when executed by the processor, cause the transmitting communication device to generate at least one layer 2 message frame for delivery to a remote receiving device over an electronic communication network. The generated at least one layer 2 message frame includes a cross protocol payload (XPP). The XPP includes a first protocol identifier identifying a first communication protocol, a first protocol package containing first data content according to the first communication protocol, a second protocol identifier identifying a second communication protocol different from the first communication protocol, and a second protocol package containing second data content according to the second communication protocol.
