Abstract
A computer-implemented method uses out-of-band notifications to reduce overhead associated with notifying a client process of events that have occurred at a server process in a computer system employing a request-response protocol. Initially, a notification transmission connection is established between the client process and the server process using the request-response protocol. Thereafter, notifications are transmitted from the client process to the server process using the connection, and without using the request-response protocol to transmit the notifications.
