Internet Inter-ORB Protocol
IIOP

    (IIOP) A protocol which will be mandatory
   for all CORBA 2.0 compliant platforms.  The initial phase
   of the project is to build an infrastructure consisting of: an
   IIOP to HTTP gateway which allows CORBA clients to
   access WWW resources; an HTTP to IIOP gateway to let WWW
   clients access CORBA resources; a web server which makes
   resources available by both IIOP and HTTP; web browsers which
   can use IIOP as their native protocol.
