SunNET Theory

SunNET is a hubless network for the LambdaMOO server. It is known to Work with the latest LambdaCore and SenseMedia Core. SunNET is designed to be simple to use for casual programmer, yet still able to provide a great deal of flexibility for more advanced programmer.

SunNET makes connections to other sites using special players. This seems to be the most stable way of transmitting data to and from MOOs. MultiPort listening has the problem of dropping the connection if it becomes inactive for a period of time (which can be changed when the server is compiled). Each network player's name is of the form, SunNET_SiteName, where SiteName is the name of the remote site which the link represents. These link objects comprise the physical connections on the SunNET.

Logical connections ride on top of the physical connections. Currently these are represented in special properties on the $sunnet object.
