The network topology
Y::Notifier - Specification - The network topology
Y::Notifier
consists of a client library and a server application (which is itself a library)
There are multiple local clients per Notifier server
There is one Notifier server per host
Every Notifier server is directly connected to every other Notifier server in a mesh topology
(earlier implementations had only one server, period)
Ergo there are
n(n - 1)/2
connections between
n
servers, but each server itself has only
n - 1
connections
