These modules collaborate with one another throughcollaboration objects. That is, the detection modules trigger the application modules toperform certain operations through the Track module. More specifically, the detectionmodules probe the link status, network performance and so on, and inform theapplication modules of the detection result through the Track module. After theapplication modules are aware of the changes of network status, they deal with thechanges accordingly to avoid communication interruption and network performancedegradation.The Track module works between the application modules and the detection modulesand is mainly used to obscure the difference of various detection modules to provide aunified interface for application modules.
