I have run into difficulties in implementing a distributed algorthm using rpc(socket) in a sunstation network. My problems are: 1. How could I set up SERVERS among suns. Is it enough to set up one server among serveral related machines? How? (My algorithm needs to send packets to serveral suns.) 2. In a RPC manual, there is an example which said a server is needed to be able to run properly. But I tried to run it without server, it did works too. Is a server necessary for all socket(lower) level applications? 3. Could I get some real application source code from you? Any comments any pointers are greatly appreciated!!
