multiprotocol
Supports multiple formats
Multiprotocol describes systems, devices, or software capable of working with multiple communication protocols simultaneously.
A multiprotocol router can handle different network standards at once.
The term appears in technical contexts where compatibility across different systems matters: multiprotocol label switching, a multiprotocol gateway connecting legacy and modern systems.
