34Provides the implementation classes for the <em>rmi:</em> protocol for
35the HotSpot PerfData instrumentation buffer monitoring implementation.
36</p>
37<p>
38The <em>rmi:</em> protocol is the default protocol for the PerfData
39implementation when a hostname is specified as part of a HostIdentifier
40or VMIdentifier. It communicates with an RMI server on the remote machine
41that provides functions to get a list of available Java Virtual Machines
42and to acquire a copy of a Java Virtual Machine's instrumentation buffer.
43The RMI server may or may not use the PerfData implementation on the
44remote host to acquire this information. The <em>jstatd</em> server
45provides a PerfData implementation of the RMI server.
