[Architecture]

OpenSimulator is a scalable platform which offers operators a number of configurations, called Architectures in the configuration files.

A closed region simulator running one or more regions in a single simulator program, which is not coordinating with other simulators through grid services.

Hypergrid services are not enabled and hypergrid visitors cannot connect to regions in this simulator.

Hypergrid services are enabled and hypergrid visitors can connect to regions in this simulator.

A closed grid configuration using OpenSimulator Robust C#/Mono server/services to coordinate services between regions in the grid, and offload services from the region simulators.

Hypergrid services are not enabled and hypergrid visitors cannot connect to this grid.
