CIM_BindsTo class

This association establishes a ServiceAccessPoint as a requestor of protocol services from a ProtocolEndpoint. Typically, this association runs between SAPs and endpoints on a single system. Because a ProtocolEndpoint is a kind of ServiceAccessPoint, this binding can be used to establish a layering of two protocols, with the upper layer represented by the Dependent and the lower layer represented by the Antecedent.

The following syntax is simplified from Managed Object Format (MOF) code and includes all of the inherited properties.
