Track Overview Figure 363   Collaboration through the Track module
 
The Track module is used to implement collaboration between different modules.
The collaboration here involves three parts: the application modules, the Track 
module, and the detection modules. These modules collaborate with one another 
through collaboration objects. That is, the detection modules trigger the 
application modules to perform certain operations through the Track module. 
More specifically, the detection modules probe the link status, network 
performance and so on, and inform the application modules of the detection 
result through the Track module. After the application modules are aware of the 
changes of network status, they deal with the changes accordingly to avoid 
communication interruption and network performance degradation.
The Track module works between the application modules and the detection 
modules and is mainly used to obscure the difference of various detection modules 
to provide a unified interface for application modules.
