This document specifies the .NET Message Framing Protocol, which defines a mechanism for framing messages. Although primarily used for framing SOAP messages, this protocol can also be used to frame messages that use non-SOAP envelope formats. The .NET Message Framing Protocol can run over any transport, including those that do not natively support message semantics, and can provide support for sending and receiving demarcated messages.

Familiarity with SOAP and XML technologies is required for a complete understanding of this document.

Sections 1.5, 1.8, 1.9, 2, and 3 of this specification are normative. All other sections and examples in this specification are informative.
