• XMS Clients: these are the applications responsible for XML configuration generation and
formatting. 6WINDGate includes two full featured XMS clients: a CLI and a Web-based
management interface. Other XMS clients can be developed.
The XMS Configuration Manager and XMS Clients use a standard UNIX stream socket for communication.
XML messages are exchanged through the XIPC protocol.
As XML configuration processing is done in XMS Configuration Manager, adding another XMS Client is
done through a simple interfacing, not a complete re-development.

The XMS Configuration Manager is designed to be as modular as possible; it is split into two parts:
• The core implementation, which is responsible for dispatching the XML configuration file to the
relevant services. It also handles the integration of the different service modules.
• The service modules, which are responsible for configuring the system, according to the XML
configuration received. They are also responsible for keeping track of the current service
configuration.
These two parts are fully written in C99 and therefore fully portable.
