Description
Book SynopsisMMS has evolved from the huge popularity of the SMS text service for GSM networks. It is a departure from the transport mechanism used for SMS (which is based on the GSM signalling channels) to the use of IP to transport messages within the MMS network. To this end, MMS has similarities with Internet email and standard IETF protocols.
