] * needs to support non-blocking or streaming (often called "batching") ] of requests; if there is no error from a request and the request has ] no return value, the system shouldn't generate network ] traffic. Round trips are the death of performance on a world ] wide network, with round trip times often measured in hundreds ] of milliseconds (or more). I presume that what you really mean is that round trips that you have to wait for are death. If you want delivery to be reliable, then there has to be an ack at some level. Paul
