General Communication Facility (GCF)
The General Communication Facility (GCF) is a communications protocol that provides a common platform and location independent interface to the Enterprise Access servers.
• All clients and servers support a single messaging API called General Communication Application (GCA). GCA passes requests from clients to servers and obtains responses from servers as GCA messages.
• GCA (with GCF) hides location and system architecture of the client from the server and, likewise, location and system architecture of the server from the client.
