Detailed Description

NETMAN functionality realised as peer to peer IP based packet transfer. Each application is listening on a dedicated port for incoming connections. The application name to port number mapping is supplied by isrvr (information service), which is a central service for all consoles. Each program registers then with name and port to rsrvr (registration service), another central service for all consoles. It serves at runtime as a name service to resolve the ip adress and port number for a given application.
