time Quintuple
Bidirectional?: False
time (A-Interconnect): This CVRIA application interconnect encapsulates all of the Layer 2 information flows between the 'Center Support Services' application object and the 'Network Time Source' physical object. In this case, there is only a single Layer 2 flow associated with this interconnect, so the Layer 1 application interconnect name and the Layer 2 information flow name are both 'time'. This application interconnect is uni-directional since the underlying layer 2 information flows go from 'Network Time Source' to 'Center'.
Network Time Source (Source Physical Object): The 'Network Time Source' represents the external time source the Connected Vehicle Service Monitor System uses as the basis for time. This is likely implemented as a Stratum-2 Network Time Server that is 2 steps removed from a basic time source (e.g., atomic clock).
Center (Destination Physical Object): This general physical object is used to model core capabilities that are common to any center.
Center Support Services (Destination Application Object): 'Center Support Services' provides foundational functions that support data collection, management, and distribution. It coordinates with Object Registration and Discovery to maintain its registration with respect to location/geographic scope and credentialing information. It maintains the necessary security credentials, authorizations, and associated keys to support communications in the connected vehicle environment.
