How to build my Messaging Network

Ozeki Station To Station protocol provides a safe and reliable communication channel for each entity using that protocol to communicate with other devices. These devices build up a network of entities using OS2S protocol. The complexity of these networks are widely ranged from the simplest single station network to a complex network containing multiple relay stations.

Network components

All devices have got their role in a network. The main feature of OS2S is that each entity can play all kinds of roles in the network. If a connection is a participant in two different networks, it can be a single station in one network and a relay station in the other at the same time.

The other feature of OS2S networks is that not all components needed to create a fully operable network. For example, a simple network does not need to contain a dedicated relay station of the stations if the station can handle all connections locally or using gateways.

  • Address: The main identifier of the sender and the receiver entity. For example a phone number or an e-mail address

  • Connection: This component delivers or receives a message from the other connections. Connection can be a single user, servers, devices or a gateway as well.

  • Station: Collects all connections within its range and organizes the communication between them or connections from other stations.

  • Relay station: Provides a gateway between different stations. The main purpose of a Relay Station is to ensure the communication between two connections from distinct stations.

  • Domain controller: The main purpose of Domain Controller is to authenticate and validate user access over the network in case of multi presence. It acts as a Connection in the network.
