In this case no Service IP is used. All nodes have their own IP addresses and the routing information is sent through Routing Information Protocol (RIP) messages using different metrics.
| Note |
|---|
RIP metrics are ranging from 1 to 6. You have to define the metrics for each node according to your network environment. |
Routers in the network select the destination components based on these metrics. They send the traffic to the node with lower metrics value. If a node fails, it is sufficient to remove it from the network and traffic is transferred through the other nodes without any further interaction.

The router mediating the client requests towards the firewall has to support RIP message transfer. Desktop clients and common server machines usually do not support RIP messages. PNS uses the Sendrip software for this purpose. |
