1.4 Relationship to Other Protocols

This extension is built on DPWS and relies on DPWS functionality to work. This extension is designed to allow DPWS compliant implementations to negotiate larger message sizes, as supported by standard Web Services; that is, normal Web Services not governed by DPWS do not need such a protocol extension.

This extension does not define new SOAP messages or patterns, but instead defines XML Schema that can be added to existing schema extensibility points.
