In your own words, describe the difference, from a client’s point of view, between an iterative server and a concurrent server for a service such as Echo, which involves multiple rounds of message exchanges. Your description should address (i) the software logic (recall the three-layer software architecture), and (ii) the runtime performance (in terms of the delay or latency experienced by a client).
What will be an ideal response?
(i) From a client’s perspective, the software logic is the same regardless of the nature of the server. In particular, the presentation and application logics should be invariant. The service logic only differs in the location of the server (assuming that different addresses are used by the two servers.)
(ii) The latency experienced by the client is less with a concurrently server, since in that case a client does not have to wait for the completion of the sessions ahead of it. This reduction is especially significant if the service is popular (so that concurrent sessions are numerous) and/or if the protocol sessions are lengthy in time duration.
