Terminology

1. Dispatcher: All messages go through the dispatcher. Dispatcher receives requests from Executors, chooses a Worker and sends the request to the worker, receives the answer from the worker and replies back to the Executor.

2. Transport: Transports are a collection of Clients and Servers who make it possible for Workers and Executors to communicate with a Dispatcher using a specific protocol.

3. Worker: Workers are in charge of processing the requests, calling functions and returning the results to the dispatcher.

4. Executor: Executors are in charge of sending requests from user to the dispatcher and returning the results to the user.
