CIM_BindsTo WMI class

This association establishes a service access point as a requestor of protocol services from a protocol endpoint.

Typically, this association runs between SAPs and endpoints on a single system. Because a protocol endpoint is a kind of service access point, this binding can be used to establish a layering of two protocols, with the upper layer represented by the Dependent and the lower layer represented by the Antecedent.

The following syntax is simplified from Managed Object Format (MOF) code and includes all of the inherited properties.
