Hi there, I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, I apologize if it is not... I'm starting to write a distributed application using AF_INET sockets and I'm trying to find out more about recommended ways to communicate between the processes. Could someone point me towards any sources? What I'm interested in is a protocol for the actual data that is passed through the sockets, not the semantics involved with initiation/termination of the connections (that's easy enough). The reason I ask is that I want to be sure that the 'protocol' I'm creating today will be easily modified tomorrow. I've heard that there are ways to use yacc or lex to parse commands (I think statspy uses lex) but I'd be thrilled to here any recommendations any of you may have. Regards, Brian. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brian Wolfe Internet: BAW@um.cc.umich.edu Systems Analyst UUCP: {ucbvax,uunet}!umix!hfhrv!brian Henry Ford Hospital Detroit MI 48202 (313)-876-7461 -------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm starting to write a distributed application using AF_INET sockets and I'm trying to find out more about recommended ways to communicate between the processes. Could someone point me towards any sources or interesting books? What I'm interested in is a protocol for the actual data that is passed through the sockets, not the semantics involved with initiation/termination of the connections (that's easy enough). I'm familiar with SMTP, but that's about the only stream protocol I'm familiar with.
