Message Flow Between CIC Sites

CIC passes Multi-Site messages to the Multi-Site RTM Client which in turn forwards the messages to the Multi-Site RTM Server. The Multi-Site RTM Server distributes the messages to the appropriate recipients. If a connection breaks between the client and server, messages deliver as soon as the communication link restores. The following figure shows a CIC environment with a stand-alone Multi-Site RTM Server and four Multi-Site RTM Clients. Arrows represent messages. Connectivity is by means of the Internet or TCP/IP-based network.
