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] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.NET_Remoting#cite_note-overview-3> " (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.NET_Remoting) - Orion Pseudo Sacha Magne wrote: > Hmm, what means "remoting" in english for us, mortal users ? > > thanks > Sacha > > On 2/20/09, Frisby, Adam <[email protected]> wrote: > >> +1 >> >> >> > -----Original Message----- >> > From: [email protected] [mailto:opensim-users- >> > [email protected]] On Behalf Of Diva Canto >> > Sent: Thursday, 19 February 2009 8:57 PM >> > To: [email protected] >> > Subject: [Opensim-users] r8525: no more remoting >> > >> > Just a heads-up to let everyone know that r8525 departs from .NET >> > Remoting for good. >> > Post-r8525 sims no longer listen on remoting ports, they use http >> > exclusively.
