About clients and servers

SCO networking is based on the ``client-server'' model. In its simplest form, a ``client'' is a program that requests a service and a ``server'' is a program that provides a service. In a networked environment, client programs frequently issue RPCs (Remote Procedure Calls) to request that an operation be performed; a server responds to the RPC by executing procedures to perform the operation and sending a response to the client. The terms may also refer to machines; ``server'' may refer to a host whose files or services are made available through RPCs, and ``client'' to the requesting host.

The implications of the terms ``client'' and ``server'' may vary in specific networking components. The following table summarizes some of these variations.
