I have some questions.
Whether it is supposed what server module will be inside the application
(or in separate service)? This question has arisen because processes in
the majority of operational systems have different address spaces.
So, application should use mechanisms of memory sharing and
cross-application interaction or RDMA module should be included into
each application.
And how to understand "transport independent" in this case?

thanks,
