Hi,
   Does anybody uses NCS Maybe RPC before? I has a question regarding the
maybe call implementation:
   Is Maybe RPC call messages buffered by the system in order to improve
throughput, OR it is sent out immediately to achieve low-latency (just as
normal SAR RPC call)?
   Moreover, does NCS RPC try to optimize intra-machine calls by bypassing
expensive& unnecessary data conversion and network communcation operations?
   I hope some people, especially NCS designers if you are there to shed light
on me. Thanks a lot in advance.

   Merry Chrismas and Happy New Year to all of you.
