RW NetServer is the server version of RW Net development framework. The absolute majority of features from the RW Net Standard development framework is readily available in the server. A few of the features from RW Net Pro are also available in RW NetServer Pro.

 

The server is designed to operate with a high uptime, high performance and with a high level of scalability. This design is possible because of the true application server structure on which the RW Net framework capabilities are provided.

 

RW NetServer consists of 3 main parts:

 

MakeNetwork

An import application (runs on Windows only). This is for setting up the street network for use in the server.

 

Server

The server has built-in "application server technology" (known as kbmMW) and can run as a console application on Linux (x86) and most flavours of 32 bit Windows (NT 4, Win 2000, XP, Win 2003, Win 2008).

 

It can also be installed as an NT service on Windows or a daemon on Linux.

 

Client

A client is required to talk to the server.

 

Cross platform communication is fully supported. This means that clients and servers can run on different platforms without problems.

 

RW NetServer is available in two versions, Standard and Pro, which are the same except for two main differences: Standard allows 500,000 links in the road network, while Pro allows 16,000,000 links. This limit applies to both RW NetServer and MakeNetwork application.
