This figure shows the Service Broker SVC and VPN applications in relation to other components of a Service Broker deployment. The components include the Service Broker Orchestration Engine (OE) layer. Above the OE layer are the applications connecting to the OE. This application layer includes the VPN and SVC applications connecting to the OE from within Service Broker. Two other applications, Diameter Server and IMS/SS7 Applications, also connect to the OE but from outside of Service Broker. Below the OE layer are the IMS network and SS7 networks, to which the OE connects.
