Box-carring is a concept in distributed computing
where multiple operations are grouped together and sent in a bundle.
The purpose of box-carring is to increase the performance of the
bundle of operations by reducing
the latency associated with the round-trips between client and
server. Thus, if 2 operations are bundled together, the results
of the first operation may become the input for the second operation
(via shared state or as parameters).

Box-carring was initially declared out of scope
for SOAP and to my knowledge has not yet
been standardized. Box-carring is a service
design issue.
