Communication Architecture
-
Communication medium 1-1 duplex ordered reliable and a request/reply notify protocol defined on top (
orchid-basemostly) -
Protocol definition plain objects that define nothing beside serialization/deserialization and English descriptions of invariants (
orchid-api) -
Active objects smart objects that represent resources and communicate their modification through the protocol, sorted into 3 categories for asymmetric communication: common/extension/host. Some ext/host logic is defined in
orchid-baseto ensure that other behaviour within it can rely on certain global functionality. ext/host also manage their respective connection state (orchid-base,orchid-extension,orchid-host) -
Application (client, server) binaries that use active objects to implement actual application behaviour (
orcx,orchid-std)
