| 20080250146 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR APPLICATION OR PROTOCOL VERSION NEGOTIATION - A method for version negotiation between two entities is provided. Described in the context of communication protocol negotiation, an initiating entity proposes an initial communication protocol version to a receiving entity.
