Inbox Names

Transport objects can create inbox names, designating a destination that is unique to that transport object and its process. Rendezvous software uses point-to-point techniques to deliver messages with inbox subject names.

One common use of inbox names is as reply subject names in request/reply interactions (see Request/Reply Interactions).

Request reply interactions that cross network boundaries depend on Rendezvous routing daemons (rvrd) in both directions. Routing daemons annotate inbox name reply subjects during the request phase, and interpret those annotations during the reply phase—ensuring correct delivery across network boundaries. (Programs that send reply inbox names within message data fields circumvent this mechanism, and cannot receive replies across network boundaries.)
