Role of the Rendezvous Daemon
The Rendezvous daemon is a background process that supports all Rendezvous communications. Distributed processes depend on it for reliable and efficient network communication. All information that travels between processes passes through a Rendezvous daemon as it enters a host computer or exits a sending process.
The Rendezvous daemon:
|
•
|
Transmits outbound messages from program processes to the network. |
|
•
|
Delivers inbound messages from the network to program processes. |
|
•
|
Filters subject-addressed messages. |
|
•
|
Shields programs from operating system idiosyncrasies, such as low-level sockets. |
The Rendezvous daemon process, rvd, starts automatically when needed, runs continuously and may exit after a period of inactivity. For more information, see rvdrvdin TIBCO Rendezvous Administration.
