Netfolk,
I am in the process of drafting a document outlining the major "RPC"
technologies. The purpose of the document is to educate our data-processing
staff. I am loosely using the term "RPC" as I am interpreting it to be
a set of procedures which facilitate general purpose distributed computing.
Thus far, the document is considering the following technologies:
1. Sun/ONC
2. OSF/DCE
3. OSI (including MAP/TOP suite)
4. SAA - e.g., LU6.2, CPI-C, etc
5. Digital Application Architecture
6. PC LAN technology - NETBIOS and others
7. Interactive Systems - Netwise
Questions:
1. What other technologies should be considered?
2. What are the key protocols within each technology?
3. What application paradigms does each technology support/limit?
4. What are the relative advantages and disadvantages of each technology?
Your expertise, biased opinions, pointers to good articles, or just plain
two cents are appreciated!
Please reply to spoelhof@kodak.com
I will summarize findings for all who ask.
Thanks in advance!
