ORB product C is optimized to work in a particular operating environment. It uses a particular environment-specific protocol
based on distributed computing services that are commonly available at the target customer sites. In addition, ORB C is expected
to interoperate with other arbitrary ORBs from other vendors. To accomplish this, ORB C provides inter-ORB bridge support
and a companion half-bridge product (supplied by the ORB vendor or some third-party) provides the connection to other ORBs.
The half-bridge uses the IIOP to enable interoperability with other compatible ORBs.
