HP 9000 Networking XTI Programmer's Guide

XTI over OSI Networks

Active and Passive Processing

When you create your programs, decide which processes will be initiating

connections and which ones will be accepting connections. Decide how

normal requests for disconnects will be handled in order to avoid data loss

because OSI transport protocols do not support the orderly release features

of XTI.

Programs can be managed by designating the paired programs as client and

server or active and passive.

Note that either process can send and receive data and can initiate a

disconnect.
