Re: [Haskell-cafe] Question about rpc design

Is this way of sending messages already known? Does it have a name? And if not, how hard do you think it would be to hack some rpc library to implement this? I think you are describing telescopic routing. Of sorts. The easiest way to achieve your goal is by making the communications asynchronous and

<snip> the party which has an answer to send it directly to the originator. It won't necessarily reduce the latency though, and you would probably get multiple answers, unless you have no redundant data in the network.
