1.1 Track Overview
Figure 1-1 Collaboration through the Track module
The Track module is used to implement collaboration between different modules.
The collaboration here involves three parts: the application modules, the Track module,
and the detection modules. These modules collaborate with one another through
collaboration objects. That is, the detection modules trigger the application modules to
perform certain operations through the Track module. More specifically, the detection
modules probe the link status, network performance and so on, and inform the
application modules of the detection result through the Track module. After the
application modules are aware of the changes of network status, they deal with the
changes accordingly to avoid communication interruption and network performance
degradation.
The Track module works between the application modules and the detection modules
and is mainly used to obscure the difference of various detection modules to provide a
unified interface for application modules.
