Class CIM_NetworkService
extends CIM_Service

This is an abstract base class, derived from the Service class. It serves as the root of the network service hierarchy. Network services represent generic functions that are available from the network that configure and/or modify the traffic being sent. For example, FTP is not a network service, as it simply passes data unchanged from source to destination. On the other hand, services that provide quality of service (e.g., DiffServ) and security (e.g., IPSec) do affect the traffic stream. Quality of service, IPSec, and other services are subclasses of this class. This class hierarchy enables developers to match services to users, groups, and other objects in the network.
