Client-Server Architecture

From the G-SIM Server’s perspective, all other G-SIM software components are clients. The Server distinguishes between the following types of clients:

• Operator Console
• Management Console
• Health Agent
• G-SIM Updater

The responsibilities of the G-SIM Server towards its clients are basically the following:

• Validate client
• Authorise client actions
• Supply client with data requested
• Request data from client
• Perform actions on behalf of client
• Notify other clients of a specific client’s behavior
• Log client actions and requests to the audit log
