OBJECT-ORIENTED REMOTE PROCEDURE CALL NETWORKING SYSTEM

摘要

Object-oriented client-server facility (CSF) and networking service facility (NSF) interfaces implement communication between application programs residing in client and server nodes at a distributed services network. The CSF interface includes remote procedure call (RPC) objects for invoking and responding to service requests at the nodes and application programming interface (API) objects for transporting those requests between the nodes. However, the API objects only provide communication transports within a node. Accordingly, the API and RPC objects interact with dynamically-configurable protocol stacks within the NSF interfaces to complete the transport mechanism needed by an application program on the client node when accessing services on a remote server node.
