-RMr is a library which provides a user application with the

+RMR is a library which provides a user application with the
+ability to send and receive messages to/from other RMR based
applications without having to understand the underlying
messaging transport environment (e.g., SI95) and without
needing to know which other endpoint applications are
-currently available and accepting messages. To do this, RMr

depends on a routing table generated by an external source.
This table is used to determine the destination endpoint of
each message sent by mapping the message type T (supplied by
the message, and in some cases whether that message was sent
to multiple applications.

specific source instance of a message allowing for either a
request response, or call response relationship when needed.
It is the responsibility of the route table generator to know
which endpoints belong to which groups, and which groups
accept which message types. Once understood, the route table
