Architecture
SEN - Slovenian Education Network is built on top of
ARNES (Academic and Research Network of Slovenia).
SEN consists of three levels:
Upper Level - Ring of Entry Servers: consists of a small number of entry
servers that have knowledge about the structure of the Network and direct
the user to the proper server/material. All entry servers are equivalent -
they provide the same information about the Network.
This ensures the robustness against failure of an individual server and
the distribution of workload.
Lower Level - Information Providers: consists of ordinary servers that
actually provide the information. For some time some information providers
will be hosted at other organization's servers. Intronet.
User Level - consists of users/schools with the Internet access.
