We have implemented ALMI as a Java-based middleware package using JDK1.2 [17]. In the next two experiment sets, we evaluate the performance of an actual operational group of ALMI nodes over either a WAN or a LAN. These two scenarios have fundamental differences; in a LAN environment most of the delay between two ALMI nodes is due to host processing while over a wide area network, delay is mostly due to transmission, propagation and queuing delay over the network.
