Abstract

A computer-implemented method uses out-of-band data transmission to reduce overhead associated with data transmission between a client process and a server process in a computer system employing a request-response protocol. Initially, a data transmission connection is established between the client process and the server process using the request-response protocol. Thereafter, data is transmitted between the client process and the server process using the connection, and without using the request-response protocol to transmit the data.
