From Overview of Distributed Objects and RMI in Java 1.1 ARL Database Tutorial and CPS616 -- February 98. by Nancy McCracken
The transport layer handles all the network issues.
  • It sets up a connection over a physical socket.
  • It knows the local and remote objects and how to translate to the local and remote name space.
  • It serializes objects as required.
  • It monitors the connection for signs of trouble, such as the remote server doesnąt respond, and may throw RemoteExceptions.
