Access points

An access point netlet is created in response to a service bind from a consumer of our service or application, and downloaded to fulfil the required service.

In Beatrix they're just very simple proxies by default. Both workers and managers can act as servers for access points. If one server fails the access point re-establishes communications with another one.

Access points can, however, be custom-built, can use resources provided by the client netlets, and so on. For more on this see Section [*].
