Dear Mary:

The OASIS Web Services Discovery and Web Services Devices Profile (WS-DD) Technical Committee hereby submits the following specification, which is an approved Committee Specification, to be considered as an OASIS Standard:

SOAP-over-UDP Version 1.1

Appended below is the information required by the OASIS TC Process to accompany this submission.

The TC members thank you very much for your support and assistance in bringing our work on the specification to this point, and look forward to continuing to work with you through the remainder of the process to a successful conclusion.

Best regards,

Toby Nixon

WS-DD OASIS Submission of SOAP-over-UDP Version 1.1

(a) Links to the approved Committee Specification in the TC's document repository, and any appropriate supplemental documentation for the specification, both of which must be written using the OASIS templates;

(b) The editable version of all files that are part of the Committee Specification;

(c) Certification by the TC that all schema and XML instances included in the specification, whether by inclusion or reference, including fragments of such, are well formed, and that all expressions are valid;

The OASIS WS-DD TC certifies that all schema and XML instances included in the SOAP-over-UDP specification, whether by inclusion or reference, including fragments of such, are well formed, and that all expressions are valid.

(d) A clear English-language summary of the specification;

This specification defines a binding for SOAP envelopes to use datagrams.

(e) A statement regarding the relationship of this specification to similar work of other OASIS TCs or other standards developing organizations;

Many application protocol patterns match the semantics of the User Datagram Protocol (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc768); some do not require the delivery guarantees of TCP, while others make use of multicast transmission. In order to allow Web services to support these patterns, a way is needed to map SOAP envelopes to user datagrams. This support is essential for services using WS-Discovery, where the use of multicast and need for low connection overhead makes UDP a natural choice; it is anticipated that other protocols will have similar requirements. SOAP-over-UDP is based on Web services protocols and architecture, including, but not limited to IP, UDP, SOAP, XML, WS-Addressing, and WS-Security. UPnP defines a mechanism for transport of HTTP-like messages over UDP as part of its Simple Service Discovery Protocol (http://www.upnp.org/specs/arch/UPnP-arch-DeviceArchitecture-v1.0.pdf, Section 1) and a similar mechanism is used in IGRS (http://www.igrs.org), but no known existing specification defines transport of SOAP messages over UDP, and there is no known similar work in progress in OASIS or any other organization.
