Specification

Protocols, Definitions, and Models

Async RPC is a collection of protocols, sub specifications (definitions), and models.

The specification is structured into three parts:

  • Programming model: Defines the intended structure of distributed programs and the developer interface.
  • Execution model: Defines how distributed programs reliably make progress.
  • System model: Defines the environment in which distributed programs exist, and thus a way of thinking about distributed programs.
