PROCESS FOR SIMULATING A SERVER ARCHITECTURE BY MEANS OF A CLIENT ARCHITECTURE

摘要

The invention relates to a method of simulating, in a network, a "server" architecture from a "client" architecture of a first machine (PS) for the execution of RPC remote procedure calls sent. by at least one "client" architecture machine (CL). According to this method, the first machine (PS) first sends an RPC call to a third "server" architecture machine (RE) used as a relay machine between the first (PS) and the second (CL) machines, this RPC call opening a communication context for the continuation of the exchanges while the first machine (PS) hangs while waiting for a return of the RPC call. When the second machine (CL) sends an RPC call representative of a determined function to be executed by the first machine (PS), this call is transmitted to the relay machine (RE) which after recognition of the function retransmits it to the first machine (PS) by return from the blocked RPC call. The first machine (PS) then requests the input parameters of the function to be executed known to the relay machine (RE) and then executes the function as soon as they are received, supplying the result to the second machine (CL) as an output parameter via the relay machine (RE).
