BSC Programmer’s Guide
To maintain high data throughput, Freeway uses a multi-processor architecture to sup-
port the LAN and WAN services. The LAN interface is managed by a single-board com-
puter, called the server processor. It uses the commercially available VxWorks
operating system to provide a full-featured base for the LAN interface and layered ser-
vices needed by Freeway.
