TANGO Architecture: Components
Central Server is the main communication element.
- Local daemons communicate with the central server
- Server maintains the system state data
- Server routes messages between applications participating in each session
- All application protocols are opaque to the server
- Currently, TANGO users are restricted to only one collaboratory server at any given time
- Server switch somewhat clumsy
- TANGO server is extremely stable and maintenance-free
- No administrative interface
