Connection Routing
Connection Routing sequentially sends
the data from one device (in this case, serial) to several other devices. In this example:
| |
Priority |
Server |
| |
First message
Second message
Third message
Fourth message |
Server One
Server Two
Server Three
Server One |
The process continues with the Gateway's
connection routing providing load balancing by automatically directing the messages to the
individual servers (open connections) sequentially. As connection (server) availability
changes, this method of routing will automatically adapt by altering the routing table to
support only the available connections. When a server becomes available, it is automatically
added to the routing list.
In this example, the Gateway is using
several different protocols for the connections. Depending on the Gateway, the connections
could be through individual ports or addresses on any of the supported protocol or network
topologies. This capability provides significant flexibility when integrating the Gateway
into a network.
