# Network

## Networking in VIOSO

VIOSO extensively utilizes network capabilities to function seamlessly across multiple PCs. In this setup, one node is designated as the **master** while the others serve as **clients**, effectively distributing tasks to work in unison. This architecture allows all functions to be scaled and synchronized across the network, creating a unified application experience despite the distributed system.

### Networking Requirements

To ensure VIOSO operates efficiently across a network setup with one master and multiple client nodes, the following network requirements should be met:

* **Network Speed:** A minimum of 1 GB/s network speed is necessary for fluent operation.
* **IP Configuration:** Fixed IPs should be assigned to each node within the network to maintain stable connections and facilitate seamless communication between the master and client nodes.

**Important:** Ensure that DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is not used for IP configuration. Manual IP assignment is crucial for network stability in VIOSO 6 environments.
