Virtual network communication services utilizing internode message delivery task mechanisms

摘要

A networking services architecture is provided in which several communication media and protocols are supported. In commonly used communications middleware, the routing specification and messaging interface provided to a client application may depend on the communications protocol used. The client's interface is independent of the communication protocols supported for internode message delivery, and the routing specification is also independent of the number and type of communication protocols supported. For instance in a communication system, node A and node B could be connected using IP (Internet Protocol), while node B and node C could be connected using synchronous pooling. The routing specification is independent of these details since nodes are identified in a protocol independent manner.
