Client/Multi-Server
Architecture
Thousands
of individual pieces of equipment are required to implement a
typical broadband transmission network. A typical network
consists of multiple sites with concentrations of equipment,
such as headends and hubs.
 Traditional
client/server architecture employs a single server to maintain
the status of the entire network while multiple clients connect
to the server for operator access. Connecting thousands of
pieces of equipment directly to one computer from multiple sites
is impractical, results in a single point of failure, and
presents multiple format status information transport problems.
TNCS improves
system management reliability and lowers cost by implementing a
client/multi-server architecture. This architecture allows TNCS
to be scalable from management of a single headend to management
of an entire transmission network.
Multiple
servers are placed in the network in as many places as needed
and connected to a single client via TCP/IP over Ethernet
Network thereby providing the operator at the client with a
seamless integrated view of the entire broadband network.
