This is basically a way for the network to advertise location of services to topology-aware elements, as opposed to a server attached to a network doing the adverts for hosts. 86 91 87 ==== (9/11) ==== 92 ==== (9/11) ==== #w2 88 93 Some work was done to develop a general architecture of a single controller, tentatively named a "Unit". 89 94 90 95 [[BR]] 91 96 [#iv Back to Logs.] 92 ==== (9/12) ==== 97 ==== (9/12) ==== 93 98 Several points were discussed. 94 99 … … 102 107 103 108 5. '''''Use case.''''' A small setup of three switches, two hosts (one moving), and two tiers of controllers. The first tier may be a simple forwarding unit, and the second dictates a higher (protocol) layer logic - to keep it simple, authentication. The logical layout between the two tiers changes behaviors of the tiers: 104 105 109 1. Tier two connects to just one tier one controller: the connection point must communicate the higher-tier's commands to others in its tier. 106 110 2. Tier two connects to all tier one controllers: tier two in this case is a global 'overseer' that can actively coordinate, in this case, a handoff where permitted.
