Network Overview—rvd Transports

Java Programs with rvd Transports shows programs that communicate using rvd transports.

In the top and bottom of Java Programs with rvd Transports, Java applets run in two separate local networks. Browsers download the applets from an intranet web server (center), but the applets then communicate with other Rendezvous programs on their local networks (that is, they do not communicate with web server host).

This configuration is well-suited to intranets within an enterprise. The applets may run on a single network, or on several networks connected by Rendezvous routing daemons.

The independent Java application (bottom) also uses an rvd transport, and communicates with applets on its network.
