This is an example of how the Net will be structured. (Also, see NODES.LST) Level 0 +----------(Net Host)----------+ | | | | Level 1 Level 1 +-----(Regional Hub)-----+ (Regional Hub) | | | | | | Level 2 Level 2 Level 2 (Hub) (Hub) (Hub)----------+ | | | | | | | | Level 3 Level 3 Level 3 Level 3 (Hub) +---------(Hub) (Node) (Hub) | | | | | | | | Level 4 Level 4 Level 4 Level 4 (Node) (Node) (Node) (Node) Level 0 Is the Net Host or Main Hub. Level 1 These are Regional Hubs and poll the Net Host. Level 2 These are Hubs that poll a Regional Hub. Level 3 Hubs that poll from a Level 2 Hub. Level 4 Boards that poll from a Level 3 Hub. Generally, boards that have other boards polling mail from them will be considered as Hubs, and those that do not will be Nodes. NOTE: Level 4 Nodes can be Hubs for their LOCAL calling area only IF they meet the requirements of a Hub and get the approval of the Net Administrator. (c)IDM,1994
