FactoryTalk® Remote Access™
 network architecture explained earlier, they cannot cause any availability or security issues. Specifically:
  • Relay Servers are dynamically discovered. Even if a node is not available, clients will automatically switch to the others.
  • Relay Servers are an intermediate hop of an end-to-end encrypted channel, explained earlier. A man-in-the-middle attack scenario is not possible.
  • No data is stored on Relay Servers.
