meaning of state diagram
1. state diagram state transition diagram stateless A stateless server is one which treats each request as an independent transaction, unrelated to any previous request. This simplifies the server design because it does not need to allocate storage to deal with conversations in progress or worry about freeing it if a client dies in mid-transaction. A disadvantage is that it may be necessary to include more information in each request and this extra information will need to be interpreted by the server each time. An example of a stateless server is a World-Wide Web server. These take in requests URLs which completely specify the required document and do not require any context or memory of previous requests. Contrast this with a traditional FTP server which conducts an interactive session with the user. A request to the server for a file can assume that the user has been authenticated and that the current directory and transfer mode have been set. state machine finite state machine state transition diagram A diagram consisting of circles to represent states and directed line segments to represent transitions between the states.
