Purpose
The main puropse purpose of TULIP Central Reflector is to proxy the TULIP queries to PlanetLab's Scriptroute Service. It may also be extended to issue all queries. This decision will be related to speed of execution and security among other things. The PlanetLab Scriptroute service provides a cookie which works for a single IP address only. So in this way all the requests will be issued from the Central reflector and the responses will be sent back to the TULIP JNLP Client. Here is a map of Planet Lab servers.
