This Discussion focuses on a situation that you could face as a member of an architecture team. Some proposed protocols become standards. Usually, standards evolve over a period of time, with new versions being introduced every so often. However, new versions are usually not adopted immediately and may not have sufficient tool support. By the end of the Discussion, you will be able to identify the issues to be considered before making a decision in such situations. This knowledge will help you perform more efficiently as an architect when working on IT projects.
