AODP – A virtual connection for trading partners
AODP is a new internet protocol developed in the context of the NNND project. The "Automatic Ordering and Delivery Protocol" (AODP) facilitates the process of communication between supplier and retailer. Order and delivery of digital products can take place decentrally, automatically and safely via AODP. It allows any number of retailers to sell digital products to end customers without storing the digital master files of the products themselves locally, because these files stay with the supplier and are delivered directly from the supplier's server.
The end customer doesn't notice any of this process – for him or her, the whole settlement of sale to the point of the delivery appears to happen exclusively through the retailer, just like with physical products. With the help of AODP, retailers can offer the complete digital assortments of multiple suppliers.
The typical process of the internet protocol
During a sale via the internet protocol, two separate transactions take place, one between consumer and retailer and the other
between retailer and supplier. The business structure between retailer and consumer with AODP does not change. New is the
protocol's regulation of the simultaneous interaction between retailer and supplier.

requests. A closer look at the phases will illustrate the principle behind the protocol.
