CHAPTER CONTENTS
About WaveNet
With WaveNet, you can connect multiple Wave Servers so that selected users can be shared
between Servers and can be seen and used as if they are on a single large system.
The following terminology is used throughout this chapter:
•A node is any Wave Server connected via WaveNet.
•A local node is the node in a WaveNet network that you are connected to, either via
a phone, ViewPoint, or the Wave Global Administrator Management Console. The
local node is “local” from your point of view.
•A remote node is another node in a WaveNet network to which you are not
connected. A remote node is “remote” from the point of view of the local node.
•A home node is the Wave Server where a local user was originally created.
•A publishing node is the Wave Server from which information about local users is
sent to one or more remote nodes.
•A subscribing node is the Wave Server that receives information about users on
other nodes.
