use internal link for details about LTSP.  (wiki.d.o/LTSP contains links to  information not usable for our setup, maybe confusing users) )

- The figure is a sketch of the assumed network topology. The default setup of a Skolelinux network assumes that there is one (and only one) main server, while allowing the inclusion of both normal workstations and LTSP (https://wiki.debian.org/LTSP) servers (with associated thin clients and/or diskless workstations). The number of workstations can be as large or small as you want (starting from none to a lot). The same goes for the LTSP servers, each of which is on a separate network so that the traffic between the clients and the LTSP server doesn't affect the rest of the network services.

LTSP is explained in detail in [[DebianEdu/Documentation/Buster/HowTo/NetworkClients|the related HowTo]] chapter.
  
  The reason that there can only be one main server in each school network is that the main server provides DHCP, and there can be only one machine doing so in each network. It is possible to move services from the main server to other machines by setting up the service on another machine, and subsequently updating the DNS configuration, pointing the DNS alias for that service to the right computer.
