Spine Client Types

Overview

Every Client System that uses the BadgerNet Spine is assigned a specific Client Type. Having a specific Client Types assigned to each single client system informs a series of rules and expectations on that Client System, and also informs a set of fixed restrictions applied within the BadgerNet Spine.

The Spine Client Type is the key that drives a set of use cases for the BadgerNet Spine for any client that has that Client Type assigned.

As more varied projects emerge that want to benefit from use of the BadgerNet Spine features, it is possible that new types of Spine Client Type will be created and deployed. This documentation will be updated over time to inform of such changes.
