Foil 39 Session Management

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


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
TANGO does not restrict the number of concurrent sessions. There may be multiple independent sessions of applications of the same type.
Messages from one application compatible with application of another type will be distributed transparently.
NOTE: current model confuses floor control and session ownership. It will be replaced by two distinct mechanisms in version 2.1
