 | Server. The server could be described as a
classroom, or conference room. It is the facilities. The server is
responsible for gathering all of the voice data, and other data and
re-distributing it to all of the clients. By itself the server is
nothing, just as a classroom with no students is nothing. |
| Manager. The manager is responsible for
configuring the rooms. It might best be described as building
maintenance. Responsible for setting up the tables and chairs, and
the overall layout. |
| Client. The client is the program that
interacts with the user. We might compare this to the actual
student in a classroom. |
| Automatic download and launch. This is the
process that gets the client into a chat room. It starts with a
link that is embedded on a web page. That link contacts a cgi that
determines if the client needs to be downloaded, and then launches
it into a room. This is best described as the process by which a
student is brought into a classroom. Perhaps even including an
usher that leads the student from the main entrance to his/her seat.
