METHODS, SYSTEMS AND PROTOCOLS FOR APPLICATION TO APPLICATION COMMUNICATIONS

摘要

A protocol suite for inter-process communication in multi-process and multi-computer environments is described which supports one or more loosely flow-controlled connections to be established over a tightly flow-controlled connection. The tightly flow-controlled connections between processes provide a reliable underlying network between the members of a multiprocessing environment over which multi-computer applications can then efficiently communicate by setting up loosely flow-controlled connections.
