Also, the channel instance or session identifier may be a very large number (e.g., 128 bits) to help prevent an unauthorized user to maliciously tap into a broadcast charmel.

WHEREAS, The Boeing Company ("ASSIGNEE"), a corporation of the State of Delaware having its principal place of business at Seattle, Washington, is desirous of acquiring the entire right, title, and interest in and to the invention and in and to any patents that may be granted therefor in the United States and in any and all foreign countries; NOW, THEREFORE, in exchange for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, ASSIGNORS hereby sell, assign, and transfer unto ASSIGNEE, its legal representatives, successors, and assigns, the entire right, title and interest in and to the invention as set forth in the above- mentioned application, including any continuations, continuations-in-part, divisions, reissues, re-exarninations, or extensions thereof, any other inventions described in the .

Examples of client/server middleware systems include remote procedure calls (“RPC”), database servers, and the common object request broker architecture (“CORBA”).

In one embodiment, the distance that the edge connection request message travels is established by the portal computer to be approximately twi e the estimated diameter of the broadcast channel.

The broadcast technique can then repeatedly invoke the XDR routines to retri ve the messages and use the success or failure of each invocation to determine whether ano er block of 1,024 bytes needs to be retrieved from the operating system.

If a portal computer is located at that search depth with a process that is fully connected to the broadcast channel, then the routine returns an indication of success.

In block 1303, the IOITILIDC invokes the Figure 14 is a flow diagram illustrating the processing Lpf the external connect callback routine to notify the application program and then returns.

“Consistency” 20-1 1 “DCOM Value Objects” “Chain Avoidance” “Chain Bypass" “Thread ldentification” 20.1 Introduction The primary goal of this specification is to allow effective access to CORBA sewers through DCOM and the reverse.

Even when the outgoing request does not contain any DCOM value objects, the callee must still add the extent (consisting of just the statuscode member in this case).

The broadcast technique can then repeatedly invoke the XDR routines to· retri ve the messages and use the success or failure of each invocation to determine whether ano er block of 1,024 bytes needs to be retrieved from the operating system.

In block 807, the routine installs the external dispatcher for pro essing messages received through this process' external· port for the passed channel type· and hannel instance.

Also, the c annel instance or session identifier may be a vezy large number (e.g., 128 bits) to help prev an unauthorized user to maliciously tap into a broadcast channel.

Examples of client/server middleware systems include remote procedure calls ("RPC"), atabase servers, and the common object request broker architecture ("CORBA").
