What transport protocols are used?
BridgeWorks Version 3.0 supports a new transport scheme built around a “generic” IPC architecture. You can use either ICC (Intracluster Communication), RPC, or a no-transport option on the same system. Using ICC services, you can create connections between different processes on a single system or different systems within a single OpenVMS Cluster system. This is a flexible architecture. The middle component will attempt to connect using ICC before it attempts to use RPC because the performance of ICC is much faster. This service is only available, however, inside an OpenVMS cluster – that is, middle and server components must be running on systems within the same cluster.
