Overview
SILC Server provides full featured implementation of server side of the
SILC protocol. The SILC Server is intended for system administrators
who would like to set up either own SILC router or SILC server. SILC Server
is ideal for small offices and organizations to set up secure conferencing
network in the local area network (LAN). The server is also suitable for
Internet usage as it scales well, is compact and fast.
SILC Server can act either as SILC router or SILC server. It is also able
to act as Backup router and take the responsibilities of the primary router
if it becomes unresponsive. If your network has only one server then SILC
Server acts by default as router server. Small LAN networks manage fine
with only one SILC Server so it is very easy and fast to set up.
The difference of router server and normal SILC server is that router server
handles most of the message routing and also keeps the global network state
up to date. Normal SILC server on the other hand handles only local
users and message routing to them. This arrangement makes the SILC network
fast and scalable. SILC Server is easy to configure to act either as
normal server or router server.
