Remote interface

A remote interface is an interface to a Java object in a different address space. It is a directional connection between a netlet and another netlet, or between a netlet and a node.

While a remote interface largely looks like a local interface, there are some important differences:

The Jtrix API provides classes for detecting and exploiting the above differences if the application chooses to do so. For example, IAsynchronousClient and IAsynchronousServer (both in org.jtrix.base) allow thread-economic implementation of users and providers.
