[Opensim-users] r8525: no more remoting

[John Sheridan]

If I'm not mistaken the term "remoting" pertains to a remote procedure 
call or a way of communicating between processes spread over a network. 

".NET Remoting allows an application to make an object 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object-oriented_programming> (termed 
/remotable object/) available across /remoting boundaries/, which 
includes different appdomains <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appdomain>, 
processes <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_%28computing%29> or even 
different computers connected by a network.^[4] 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.NET_Remoting#cite_note-overview-3> The 
.NET Remoting runtime hosts the listener for requests to the object in 
the appdomain <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appdomain> of the server 
application. At the client end, any requests to the remotable object are 
proxied by the .NET Remoting runtime over |Channel| objects, that 
encapsulate the actual transport mode, including TCP 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_Control_Protocol> streams, 
HTTP <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP> streams and named pipes 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Named_pipe>. As a result, by instantiating 
proper |Channel| objects, a .NET Remoting application can be made to 
support different communication protocols without recompiling the 
application. The runtime itself manages the act of serialization 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serialization> and marshalling 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshalling_%28computer_science%29> of 
objects across the client and server appdomains.^[4]
