Distributed objects bring to distributed computing such desirable properties of modularisation, abstraction and reuse easing the burden of development and maintenance by diminishing the gap between implementation and real-world objects. Distributed objects, however, need a consistent framework in which inter-object communication may take place. The Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) is a distributed object standard. CORBA's primary protocol is the Internet Interoperable Object Protocol limited to blocked synchronous remote procedure calls, over TCP/IP which is inappropriate for systems requiring timely guarantees.
