channel

client
A client is always a client application, one that initiates and
demarcates a piece of work. In the context of RTR, a client must
run on a node dened to have the frontend role. Clients typically
deal with presentation services, handling forms input, screens,
and so on. A browser, perhaps running an applet, could connect
to a web application that acts as an RTR client, sending data to
a server through RTR.
In other contexts, a client can be a physical system, but in the
context of RTR and in this document, such a system is always
called a frontend or a node.
client classes
C++ foundation classes used for implementing client
applications.
commit process

accepted, committed, and hardened in the database.
