An open multimedia messaging infrastructure is described which is based on TCP/IP and HTTP/SOAP. This has the advantage that it allows peer-to-peer MMS messages without any dependency on proprietary communications protocols or networks. Client appliances register with a central server which forwards MMS messages between clients. The server incorporates cache management, transcoding and dispatcher modules to facilitate this functionality.
