How to get RPC notification when a client terminates?

[Kevin Koch]

Thanks for that suggestion.  I don't believe the local RPC mechanism uses
TCP or UDP so are I/O completion ports applicable?

WRT resource usage:

An open connection is required between the CCAPI server and each client no
matter what type of solution.

To reduce server thread usage to one, I'm looking into asynchronous RPC
calls from the CCAPI server to the clients.  RPC notifications can be used
to tell the CCAPI server about completion/cancellation.

For Windows, if you are using I/O Completion Ports the
GetQueuedCompletionStatus() call in the worker thread will complete if
the remote system closes the connection. Exact details may differ
between UDP and TCP but it will cause the worker thread to continue and
you then you need to examine the various statuses for details.
