Client Server Model
Marshaling
- coverts data into transferable formats between different systems
Concerns
- integer sizes
- i.e. int32_t vs int64_t
- endianness
- pointers(need swizzling/unswizzling)
Buffered Communication & Intermediaries
- used when client/server aren’t simultaneously available
- i.e. Email, Publish/Subscribe
- intermediaries store and forward messages
Modes
- Push: sender initiates
- Pull: receiver initiates
