Three-Tier: Network Traffic Segmentation

In a three-tier configuration, the GUI and event rules are handled by the client, but an application server or enterprise server handles MBF processing. The database server stores data. This processing occurs across the WAN between client and application or enterprise server:

• Input Processing Request or Data (client to server)

• Return Processing Results (server to client)

This processing occurs locally across the LAN between the application or enterprise server and the database server:

• Fetch Record

• Return Record

• Validate Data Format

• Format OK

• Send Record Detail

• Detail OK

• End Transaction
