Which mechanism handles the "Object Linking" in OLE by maintaining a persistent connection to a remote server's CLSID?

This question was previously asked in

The correct answer is

Component Object Model (COM)

OLE, Object Linking and Embedding, is a Microsoft technology that lets one document contain or link to an object created by a different application, such as an Excel chart placed inside a Word file.

The underlying framework that lets these separate software components find, create and talk to one another is the Component Object Model (COM).

Each COM object type is registered with a unique identifier called a CLSID, and COM uses that CLSID to locate the correct server component and maintain the connection needed for a linked object.

So the mechanism that handles object linking in OLE by using the CLSID is the Component Object Model (COM).

The Abstract Window Toolkit (AWT) is a Java library for building graphical user interfaces, unrelated to OLE, and BLOB indexing concerns storing large binary values in a database.

SMTP is the protocol used to send email between mail servers, so none of these three has anything to do with linking OLE objects through a CLSID.
