Is there a term for "one turn of communication", ie. a request and a response pair, in networking or IPC?
For example in sockets,
# a pair = ?
sock.send(...)
sock.recv(4096)

@EJP it is too closely tied in association to database systems, if you ask me. Also in that sense, the atomicity of it with sockets may would be up to debate. Possible to use, but too loose/problematic, in my opinion. – n611x007 Sep 02 '13 at 10:32

Nevertheless it is the answer to your question. If you have additional constraints you should have specified them in your question. – user207421 Sep 03 '13 at 23:27

@EJP I see! Thanks for the clarification, then. I may need to re-think my question based on this. – n611x007 Sep 04 '13 at 13:28
