When developing a protocol-independent client/server application, client and server must meet the following requirements:
- The server-side of the application must be able to register its
existence within, or become accessible to one or more namespaces.
- The client application must be able to find the service within
a namespace and obtain the required transport protocol and
addressing information.
For those accustomed to developing TCP/IP-based applications, this may seem to involve little more than looking up a host address and then using an agreed port number. Other networking schemes however, allow the location of the service, the protocol used for the service, and other attributes to be discovered at run-time.
