What is meant by DSM-CC allows the use of heterogeneous networks?
DSM-CC relies on end-to-end significant association tags to preserve the thread of continuity of a stream across networks of different transport technologies. Thus the Server view of a transport represented by its stacks can be entirely different from the Clients. This is exemplified by different resource types and IDs at each end. By having the same association tag at both ends, a server can indicate which resource the Clients application interface must be connected to. This method is called Tap (application interface)-to-associationTag (connection resource interface) binding. The Tap identifies the application interface and the associationTag identifies the connection resource interface. These two are joined together through the ConnBinder. A given DSM-CC U-U object may have a number of Tap-associationTag couplings specified in a ConnBinder. This is sent from the Server to the Client in order for it to perform the necessary bindings with the applications required at both ends of conn
