Distributed Objects are the
first abstraction layer that
unifies CPU, storage, and
communications
This interface needs to be
hidden from applications
• It is too complicated
• It is changing too quickly

Trading-Off Bandwidth, CPU and Storage is
the Key to Creating QoS Aware Applications.
• Storage is
moving into the
edge network
• The Bandwidth
bottleneck is at
the edge of the
network
• Java Applets
move CPU away
from the servers
to the client

The QoS Problem:
Who is in Charge of Managing QOS
• QoS is well-controlled for some location of Client and Object
Client
Object
• QoS is unruly across the network
Client

• How can we resolve this?

Applications Need to be Aware of Available Resources
• Configuration Information (Query-based)
• The expected Capacity between two IP addresses
• The expected MIP of the Client and Server computers
• Possible Caches at Client, Servers and Proxies
• Status Information (Subscription-based)
• Number Greedy Flow over bootleneck link
• Load Average of Hosts
• Available cache size

Conclusion: Resource Awareness is a Missing Service
that should be offered by Networks
• Distributed Objects infrastructure is the place to make trade-offs
between Bandwidth, CPU, Storage.
• A Resource Configuration and Status Service is needed to make
these trade-offs
• The Network infrastructure must be involved with creating this
service.
• Two levels of service are needed
– Query-based to get Configuration
– Subscription-based to get Status
• The service should be as Ubiquitous as DNS
– DNS is Administrative, not physical
