Abstract
This document describes the intended functionality of the Microsoft Groove and Microsoft SharePoint Workspace system and how the protocols within this system interact. It also provides examples of some common user scenarios. It does not restate the processing rules and other details that are specific to each protocol. Those details are described in the protocol specifications for each of the protocols and data structures that make up this system.
The Groove and SharePoint Workspace system is designed for Internet-based collaboration. The system consists of protocol clients that communicate with each other and with supporting protocol servers. The system protocols, as described in [MS-GRVRDB], [MS-GRVDYNM], [MS-GRVWDPP], [MS-GRVSSTPS], [MS-GRVSSTP], [MS-GRVHENC], [MS-GRVSPCM], and [MS-GRVSPMR], are designed to facilitate and help secure communications, data synchronization, and supporting services and management.
