The Active Side Principle Approach to the Design of Client Server Protocol


Miroslav Hajduković, Danilo Obradović, Branko Perišić




This paper discusses possible improvements to the protocol intended to support the client server model of process cooperation inside a distributed computer system. Protocol improvements are possible by applying the active side principle, based on the optimistic approach. This leads to the design of an active side protocol with better characteristics with respect to the exchange of` smaller numbers of messages and more efficient implementation, compared to protocols of the same class.
