Hey guys,
My name is Alfred and my "credentials" are that I am the "father" of
admin mod (http://www.adminmod.org) along with being a devloper for some
other hl based mods (firearms for eg).
I work as a research engineer into tactical networks, so I have a fair
bit of experience with comms effects in harsh conditions (i.e the
general internet).
Anyway, my question is, why did you develop your own distributed
architecture? Why not adapt/extend/use an existing solution such as
CORBA or DCOM (urgh, I know, win32 only). CORBA has a fair amount of
support and it can be coaxed to have the characteristics you need. I am
not saying you should change, I was just wonder what led you to make
your own? It just seems that the overheads of designing a naming and
authentication service are something that CORBA would have done away with.
