Abstract
A method and apparatus for implementing a network protocol to support the transmission of a variable number of application-usable objects as a single network transmittable container object and the re-creation of the application-usable objects therefrom, which includes marshalling application-usable objects into marshalled objects, where each application-usable objects corresponds to a different marshalled object, and each marshalled object comprises frames of data; creating a two-dimensional array to transmit the application-usable objects, where a first dimension represents a given marshalled object by referencing a second dimension array, and a second dimension array comprises frames of data of a given marshalled object; and storing each marshalled object in the two-dimensional array.
