This protocol specifies the communication between the front-end Web server and the back-end database server used to satisfy requests involving file access and administration of users and groups within Windows SharePoint Services. This client-to-server protocol uses the Tabular Data Stream Protocol [MS-TDS] as its transport between the WFE, acting as a client, and the BEDS, acting as a server. The T-SQL language [TSQL-Ref] is used to define the queries and returned data which is transported over TDS.
End User Clients use remote file access protocols to communicate with the Windows SharePoint Services WFEs, specifically using FrontPage Server Extensions Remote Protocol (as specified in [MS-FPSE]), Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) (as specified in [RFC2616]), and WebDAV (as specified in [RFC2518]).
Further information about the interoperation of the clients with the WFE, and the WFE with the BEDS, can be found in the Windows SharePoint Services Technical Document [MS-WSSO].
