Introduction X Presents the sequence of steps a programmer takes to first create a conventional program and then divide the program into local and remote components w Uses an example application to show the output from rpcgen and additional code required to create the client and server components of a distributed program that uses rpc

Introduction Continues the discussion of middleware (i.e., tools and libraries programmers used to construct client-server software) Y Introduces the remote procedure call (RPC) concept, and describes a particular implementation of an rpc that uses XDr standard for data representation

Introduction Examines a de facto standard for external data representation and presentation as well as a set of library procedures used to perform data conversion Describes the general motivations for using an external data representation and the details of one particular implementation

Consolidating Servers Same motivations for multiprotocol servers Higher risk to use a single, multiservice server, why? Consolidating many services into a single server process reduces the number of executing processes dramatically The total code required

How applications become clients by initiating communication How applications use TCP or UDP protocols to contact a server How they use socket calls to interact with the protocols CSIE, NTUT, Taiwan

Client-Server Model Software Design Concurrent Processing CSIE, NTUT, TAIWAN

Transport layer protocol is to reate a process-to-process communication Provide control mechanisms Provide a connection mechanism for the processes
