Hi Ian,
The event-server, transaction-server and iplog-server servlets communicate using the Remote Data Exchange Protocol (RDEP), which is a specific use of the HTTP protocol. RDEP serves as the sensor?s external communication protocol that replaces Postoffice. Like HTTP, RDEP is a request/response protocol. An external client such as IEV initiates an alert event request that blocks until the specified events are available or until a timeout occurs. Additionally, applications respond to control transactions that are initiated remotely (by a management console for example) and communicated using RDEP.
