Mapping of Identifiers and Slow Synchronization
In this chapter, handshakes and other features of the Synchronization Protocol have been introduced, and impacts have been considered. All of them together create the overall functionality provided by the SyncML Synchronization Protocol. Now is a good time to closely look at two important features of the Synchronization Protocol: identifier mapping and slow synchronization.
