Akka is a library for building concurrent scalable applications using the Actor Model. Akka remoting is designed for communication in a peer-to-peer fashion. The remoting capabilities of Akka 2.0 are really powerful.
Akka is a toolkit and runtime for building highly concurrent, distributed, and resilient message-driven applications on the JVM.
It helps in building concurrent scalable applications using the Actor Model. Akka remoting is designed for communication in a peer-to-peer fashion. The remoting capabilities of Akka 2.0 are really powerful.
Remote actor is an actor which listens on some given port.
The remoting contains functionality not only to lookup a remote actor and send messages to it but also to deploy actors on remote nodes. These two types of interaction are referred to as:
