For the basic case -where you are not using threads or the parallel message handling- Aglet B should block and queue the incoming messages from Aglet A, and then delivery them sequentially. A good diagram of this scenario is on pages 104-105 of the aglets book. You may have to experiment with the exact mechanics of the replies – if you know that Aglet B will send the responses sequentially you can match the replies to the requests. For the resource questions- you can get a basic picture of the memory used at each server by using the Tahiti option “View” and then “Memory Usage”. Some basic information is also available from the Virtual machine, but you will have to check for the exact API calls.
