!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] is a software layer beneath [eDirectory] and provides functionality that the [NCP] provides.

 [eDirectory] software regardless of the [Operating System] is all built upon the same core code. 

In order for [eDirectory] to run on different [Operating System] and to properly interact with the other versions of [eDirectory], they support a subset of [Netware Core Protocol] ([NCP]) services. This is handled by a program called DHost. [{$pagename}] sits beneath eDirectory and provides functionality that the NCP provides naturally.

DHost provides the following services:

%%zebra-table
%%sortable
%%table-filter
||Service||Description
|[NCP Engine|ncpengine]|A packet-based [protocol] that enables a client to send requests to and receive replies from an [eDirectory] server.
|[Watchdog]|Packets used to make sure workstations are still connected to the [eDirectory] server.
|[Connection Table]|A unique number assigned to any process, print server, application, workstation, or other entity that attaches to an eDirectory server. The number can be different each time an attachment is made. Connection numbers are used in implementing network security and for network accounting. They reflect the objects place in the file servers connection table. Additionally, they provide an easy way to identify and obtain information about the objects logged in on the network.
|[Event System]|Provides a way for applications to monitor the activity of an individual server.
|[NDS Thread Pool]|A sequence of instructions executed as an independent entity and scheduled by system software.
|[NCP] Extensions|Allows server application developers to write software to be implemented as [NCPs].
|Message Digest|A compressed or condensed form of a document, or an abstract from a document, that functions as a “digital fingerprint” of the larger document. A message digest is used to create a digital signature that is unique to a particular document.
