Synchronization

What is does

SL-Message is able to receive messages, which are sent while the computer was switched off, at next startup. To use this feature you have to set some registry values.

Every computer that should synchronize have to know, from which computer it should receive lost messages (SyncSource). This computer should be a machine that runs 7x24 hours (e.g. network server) to be sure that it receives all messages.

In WAN networks this should be a machine in the same local network to reduce WAN network load.

Under the hood

The client sends a message to it's SyncSource at startup. This message contains information about the last message the client has received yet. The SyncSource looks in it's database to see whether there are newer messages and sends the newer messages to the requesting client.

This is made with a point to point connections, no broadcast will be sent, except if you specify "*" as SyncSource.
