Abstract :
Discusses some distribution support aspects, which are the structuring principles and the technologies that will change, or that are already changing, the face of distributed systems, and investigates how to take advantage of them. In particular, I examine internetworking and interprocess communication, the basis for the formation of large-scale distributed systems. I also discuss how multipoint communication, logical addressing, membership management, and topology protocols can be used to implement efficient and robust infrastructures
