Chameleon's new networking components (also known as native sockets) were introduced in version 3.3.146. They enable applications to send and receive HL7 messages using
the standard TCP/IP-based Lower Layer Protocol (LLP). The
networking components are available in all the supported programming languages. Although the
language interface differs slightly across the supported platforms, the core behavior is
the same.
This section of the manual explains the function of Chameleon's networking components
and how they can be effectively leveraged at the application code level to facilitate message
delivery.
