| 1. A method, comprising:
initiating a communication session by a first end node with a second end node;
negotiating a selected set of end-to-end session enhancing (e2e-SE) services with the second end node, wherein the selected
set of e2e-SE services has not been defined at the first and second end nodes prior to initiating the communication session
between the first and second end nodes;
initiating a transport level connection by a system layer of the first end node with the second end node whereby both the
first and second end nodes use the selected set of e2e-SE services, wherein the system layer of the first end node is connected
to a middleware layer of the first end node, which is connected to an application layer of the first end node through a socket;
and
providing, by the middleware layer of the first end node to the application layer of the first end node through the socket,
the selected set of e2e-SE services by the middleware layer executing the selected set of e2e-SE services using a controller
of the first end node and supporting the transport level connection of the system layer.
