Component communication.

Resolution
The attached diagram shows different components of the Power Monitoring Expert system, including servers, clients, databases, windows services, and web applications.

Communication Notes (referenced in the diagram):

1.  Designer uses VSIN only, Vista uses both, VSIN (comm to designer) and .Net Remoting (communication to ION Services).

2.  Platform components typically use netman (Network Router) to route ION-related requests except for stand-alone Engineering Clients, where no netman service is running locally.

3.  VIP uses .NET remoting to subscribe to real-time data from ION Services (Real-Time Data Service).

4.  Vista uses .NET remoting to subscribe to real-time data and VSIN for everything else (including historical requests to Query Server).


NOTE: VSIN is a proprietary application-layer protocol that runs on TCP/IP.
