Benchmarking for Performance Of A DCOM Based Client/Server Communications

This project provides benchmarks for the performance of a DCOM based Client/Server communications, establishing an interface between the client and server for communication.

Windows 95/98/NT based client initiates a connection to HTTP Servers and provides its IP address to the server. Client and Server communicate through the IP address.
The server initiates a DCOM connection with the client, calling its methods or getting/setting its properties.

A Connection point interface is provided by the client for which server becomes a Sink, allowing the client to initiate communication to the server by firing events. The server possesses the capacity to directly call the client methods and properties; therefore it does not fire any event to get clients focus.

Diyatech developed an ActiveX Server object providing connection point interface between the client and servers, due to which the client automatically activates the server object on the basis of IP address. Visual C++ 6.0 was used as an Active X and ATL COM/DCOM technology was applied.
