I've finished work on a paper entitled "A Comparison of Commercial RPC
Protocols" which I gave at NCF: The Network Computing Forum, and also
as a work in progress at USENIX.
It compares RPC (Remote Procedure Call) systems from Apollo, Sun and
Netwise for speed and dependablity. I'm posting the paper (in troff
format) to comp.misc, so interested people can get it. If you can not
get comp.misc, then please send me email, and I'll send it to you. I
can also send a plain text version, for people who do not have nroff
or troff.
I'm also thinking about follow on work to compare data representation
techniques (Sun's XDR vs. Apollo's RMR vs. Netwise's ASN.1). If you
would like to help (especially if you use Apollo's NCS) please email me.
