Locating Network Agent in single segment network

A single segment network is a series of logically connected nodes (computers, printers, and so on) operating in the same portion of the network. In a single segment network, Filtering Service and Network Agent must be positioned to monitor Internet traffic across the entire network.

The following illustration shows the filtering components in a stand-alone deployment of Websense software, installed in a central location to see both HTTP and non-HTTP traffic.
