Are the endpoints directly communicate with primary server ? How is the frequency? As clients will send the data through MP to primary and while client installation if the primary is down what happens.

Great video, but please don't adopt his use of the word of "thread" for registry keys and everything with it.


Threads and registry keys could not be more wildly different. The registry is essentially a database for your computer and how it should operate. Threads are essentially sequences of steps that happen on your computer, with or without user interactions. Threads running in processes can and should reference registry keys during whatever they do, but are otherwise totally different.


Otherwise, a nice video.
