Track overview
Introduction to collaboration
The track module works between application and detection modules, as Figure 53 shows. It shields the
application modules from the differences between various detection modules.
Collaboration is enabled after you associate the track module with a detection module and an
application module respectively. The detection module monitors specific objects such as interface status,
link status, network reachability, and network performance, and informs the track module of detection
results. The track module sends the detection results to the associated application module, and the
application module takes actions when the tracked object changes its state.

Collaboration fundamentals
The track module collaborates with detection modules and application modules:
•
Collaboration between the track module and a detection module
• Collaboration between the track module and an application module
Collaboration between the track module and a detection module
The detection module sends the detection result of the associated tracked object to the track module,
which then changes the status of the track entry:
