Definitions of the CAS identifier are specified in [C706] section 9.5.4.
Like a connection-oriented association, the CAS holds data relevant to the client's view of a particular RPC server:
-
Server's transport.
-
Server's host name or address.
-
Server's endpoint, or the transport's endpoint mapper endpoint if the server endpoint is unknown.
The client also caches several parameters of the server instance to improve the speed and latency of future calls:
-
The optimum size of the server fragment window.
-
Its maximum PDU length.
-
A collection of connections.
-
A flag that indicates whether the server supports the PF2_UNRELATED flag.
