The Network

The technical infrastructure of Azzurra: servers, services and network architecture.

The network is structured around hub servers (routing) and leaf servers (user connections), linked together to guarantee stability and redundancy.

For help on a service: /msg NickServ HELP (or the name of the service you want).
