This sounds like an interesting project, but I am curious why it is called
real-time, which usually means that each transaction must be completed by
a specific deadline. This description seems to have unlimited delays in
each remote procedure call, each client server interaction, and each
transaction, making it impossible to meet any particular deadline set in
advance, for example, when the clients or servers are turned off or break
for a few days?
