Components of the System Configuration Framework

If you’re developing a network-configuration application, you need to know how the components of the System Configuration framework work together and how your application interacts with them. This chapter describes each component in greater detail.

If you’re developing a network-aware application, you do not need in-depth information on the dynamic and persistent stores, the schema, or the configuration agents. Instead, you should concentrate on the reachability and connection APIs described in “Determining Reachability and Getting Connected.”
