Server Usage from The client point of view.

I would like build my own opensim Grid and share some of my networking engineering knowledge. I was wondering if anyone had a grasp on how the users(client) interacts with servers and and servers interact together. The purpose is so i can recommend a optimum segmented network design to the opensim community that segments traffic for best speed and performance and isolates server/services for security. As an example: When the client logs in and does normal activities they obviously talk to the region server. However do they ever directly! connect to the inventory, grid, asset, user, database services or does the region server do this for the client on there behalf. It seems that the region server does all these things for the user/client but it is not clear in all cases.

Obvious exceptions would be voice and and media streams and any outside service.

Is there a good source of information in this regard as it relates to opensim ?
