SILC Server enables swift and easy setup of new SILC networks, empowering system administrators with efficient management capabilities.
The SILC Server project provides a full-featured implementation of the server side of the SILC protocol, making it perfect for system administrators who would like to set up their own SILC router or SILC server. It is a great tool for those looking to set up a secure conferencing network within their organization.
The SILC Server can act as a SILC router or SILC server. In addition, it can also act as a backup router, taking over the responsibilities of the primary router if it becomes unresponsive. If you have only one server in your network, the SILC Server will act as the router server by default. Small LAN networks can be managed with only one SILC Server, making it incredibly easy and quick to set up.
The difference between a router server and a normal SILC server is that the router server handles most of the message routing and keeps the global network state up to date. On the other hand, the normal SILC server only handles local users and message routing to them. This arrangement ensures that the SILC network remains fast and scalable.
Configuring the SILC Server is easy, and it can act as either a normal server or router server depending on your needs. Overall, the SILC Server is an excellent software tool that makes setting up secure conferencing networks a breeze.
