LDR—Local Distribution Router

The Local Distribution Router (LDR) handles content transport on the grid. Content transport encompasses many tasks including data storage, routing, and request handling. The LDR does the majority of the grid’s hard work by handling the heavy data transfer loads and the extensive data traffic functions.

The LDR handles the following tasks:

Content storage

Content caching

Content transfers from another LDR

Data storage management

Protocol interfaces (DICOM and HTTP)

LDR Attributes

The LDR supports all the standard service attributes plus additional attributes for component state and status, and a system status entry for open file descriptors.
