The bindings to each MTCETHR consist of the appropriate
traditional network protocol.
Public Network to IOP to CE and Back.
Now that all of the protocols and bindings are in place, a “trace” of a
typical network request can be traced through the tuple.
1.
Client traffic comes through the hub and is seen by all public
rails NICs for both IOPs that are on the local LAN segment
(assuming the same collision domain).
2.
The public network card receives the traffic and immediately
passes it to the MIC.
There is no analysis or breakdown of the
packet.
3.
The packet is routed from the MIC to the SSDL for tuple 1.
4.
The packet is received by the SSDL1 and prepared to be sent out
again.
5.
The SSDL will send the packet to the MICs of both CEs (the
path to CE2 is routed through SSDL2).
6.
The CE’s virtual network adapter will receive the packet from
the MIC as if it were any other LAN traffic and its adapter
existed directly on the LAN.
Whatever the network request, the
CE will generate responses to be sent through the MICs to the
IOPs.
