The Connections tab shows information about the physical and logical communications connections.
- The physical connections between client and server systems are managed by processes called routers. The router process that services the client end of a physical connection is a client router. The router process that services the server end is a server router.
- The logical connections between client applications and the Teradata QS server are called sessions. On client and server systems, all sessions to the same remote system are handled by a single router process.
