This is an obvious client/server layer relationship. In a more strict architectural sense "a client layer link = server layer trail".......this is indeed how one builds the topology of a client layer network from a server layer. This relationship recurses across all layers, starting from the 'duct'. Failure to appreciate (and adhere) to this fundamental principle will cause all sorts of downstream problems....many of which I have already observed cropping up in several areas such as DiffServ and the notion of a single control-plane across all layers (but the details are not for discussion here). |
