SPECIFICATION
See the file ``ssr.h''. This contains the request identifier list
and the data structure defining an SSR message. This is not MiG generated.
SYNOPSIS
SSR is used for bootstrapping ports into MachNetIPC.
It can register a server port and forward requests to its peers
on remote hosts. SSR listens for messages on its main port.
This port accepts Mach messages containing a service identifier, a request
identifier, an IP address, and a Mach reply port. The requests are sent
to the remote peer, and the Mach reply port is translated into a MachNetIPC
port. The request is forwarded to the server registered on the remote
host (if any). There is no reply to SSR.
REALM
SSR is in the anchor protocol realm; it is specific to the Mach3 platform.
SSR communicates with the NNS protocol using a globally defined Mach port;
this requires that the two protocols exist in the same Mach task.
CONFIGURATION
SSR communicates with MachNetIPC as its only lower protocol.
