Foil 39 Session Management

From Tango for Distance Education and Training Today Rice University Tango Tutorial -- October 18 1999. by Geoffrey C. Fox


1 Master status is dynamically transferable. Floor control allows for both master-master and master-slave relationship
  • Interpretation of this (e.g. ignore it) left to application-- Tango "just" sets a flag
2 TANGO does not restrict the number of concurrent sessions. There may be multiple independent sessions of applications of the same type.
3 Messages from one application compatible with application of another type will be distributed transparently.
4 NOTE: current model confuses floor control and session ownership. It will be replaced by two distinct mechanisms in version 2.1
