A configurable transport layer for CAF
Raphael Hiesgen, Dominik Charousset, Thomas C. Schmidt · 2018
The message-driven nature of actors lays a foundation for developing scalable and distributed software. While the actor itself has been thoroughly modeled, the message passing layer lacks a common definition. Properties and guarantees of message exchange often shift with implementations and contexts. This adds complexity to the development process, limits portability, and removes transparency from distributed actor systems.
