Abstract
Location transparency removes the need for client objects to explicitly
know or define the location of a server object when communicating. If a
server object is capable of migration, relocation transparency maintains
reference validity throughout the migration.
Several models for providing location transparency exist, including the
home location, forwarding locations and Stub-Scion Pair chain models.
This
paper proposes a model that uses a distributed registry system and
dynamic
reference updating to provide location and relocation transparency. A
comparison of the models is presented.
