REAL-TIME COMMUNICATIONS OVER DATA FORWARDING FRAMEWORK

摘要

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for real-time communi-cations over data forwarding framework. A frame-work includes a group of interconnected computer system nodes each adapted to receive data and con-tinuously forward the data from computer memory to computer memory without storing on any physi-cal storage device in response to a request from a client system to store data from a requesting system and retrieve data being continuously forwarded from computer memory to computer memory in response to a request to retrieve data from the requesting sys-tem, and at least two client systems linked to the group, each of the client systems executing a real-time communications client program.
