Abstract
A system and method provide a messaging architecture for real time, asynchronous data exchange and request handling by multiple client applications in a network. Each client application effectively, simultaneously, send messages to and receive messages from, any number of other client applications on the network while maintaining only a single network connection to a server. The message architecture provides for multiplexed aggregation of messages being sent to client applications, thereby maximizing network efficiency, and reducing bandwidth requirements. The messaging architecture is fully asynchronous so that client applications need not pend on the receipt or handling of their messages by other client applications.
