Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for communication between servers. In one aspect, the invention relates to a multi-server system including a first server and a second server. The first server has a first plurality of subsystems and a first event bus associated with the first plurality of subsystems, the first event bus including a first event delivery object having a first dispatch table and a first transport mechanism associated with the first event delivery object. The second server has a second plurality of subsystems. One of the first plurality of subsystems communicates with one of the second plurality of subsystems by transmitting an event to the first transport mechanism based on an entry in the first dispatch table. In one embodiment, the first transport mechanism transmits data using TCP/IP. In another embodiment, the first plurality of subsystems includes a transport subsystem. In another embodiment, the transport subsystem is in communication with the second server. In another embodiment, each of the first plurality of subsystems has an associated unique identifier. In another embodiment, one of the first plurality of subsystems creates an event having an identifier unique to the creating subsystem.
