Domicel Q & A

Different applications running on different remote machines

Q:

Next closest thing I can think of is xwindows, where you could have different applications running on different remote machines that are displayed on the same workstation. It doesn't go through a central server, which your model seems to imply (the DSP) so that is one difference.

A:

What you describe is like the World Wide Web - where you can be using applications from many different servers at once. What Domicel adds is that when you do so, those applications "know" that they part of the same "virtual domain" and can work together.

The DSP is no more central to the system than your ISP is central to the Internet. It's just the point where you choose to enter the system (there can be any number of DSPs).
