• Local server may have many clients - when a file is received it is immediately re-distributed
• A server may collect products from different sources (e.g., satellite broadcast, local LAN, or as a client to another ByteBlaster server)
• Multiple daisy chains are possible: Server -> Client/Server -> Client/Server ->…
– LoadMaster (NWS )
• Agent for load balancing clients on registered servers
• Assists in reassignment of clients when a registered server is no longer active
– IDP Environment does not currently support the Windows environment.
– Existing operational IDP file-push protocol (e.g., XMPP) does not adequately support binary file transfer today.
– Alternative 1: Switch to NWWS End User Client software to receive a portion of the EMWIN distribution
• Provides an Internet push of all EMWIN US-National text products, and then some
• Does not include EMWIN International or Image Products
– Alternative 2: Continue to operate client/server networks in absence of the NWS ByteBlaster Servers and LoadMaster.
