I want to extend by one term:
receive exactly once: A caller will get exactly one reply
message, eventually.
My motivation is that this, combined with notice of non-reference,
_is_ compatible with network transparency. Considering only a local
machine, send exactly once and receive exactly once are identical.
Just for the record: My current position has not changed from the very
first mail I wrote that started this thread, where I asked:
1) Is RPC robustness desirable/required, or is an alternative model
feasible where machine-local RPC is as unreliable as IP/UDP network
communication?
The question is as open as before.
I have also said a lot about how I would define reply capabilities if
I were to implement them similar to Mach, with which we have some
experience. But this should not be confused with a decision that
these are the semantics I want to have.
Thanks,
Marcus
