SkyNet
Description
SkyNet is a tunnel end-point to the RIT VMS Cluster. Since this system receives much less traffic than RIT’s systems, all clients are able to be queued. This means that you stand a better chance of getting access to S.I.S and registering for your courses. Clients connect to a SkyNet server instead of connecting to the RIT VAX. Connections are queued and served based on the order in which they were received. When a “slot” becomes free, you will automatically be bridged to the Student Information System.
See the design diagram for the details.
