-Starting in r9562 OpenSim has a set of new configuration variables that specify how services and service connectors are set up. The purpose of these new configuration variables is to move away from the brittle "grid vs. standalone" paradigm, as that was a very limiting model. OpenSim is moving into a service-oriented model where simulators can easily connect to services, independent of where they execute. This service-oriented model features a very flexible service connector and composition mechanism, enabling diversity in service implementations without having to change the simulator code.

 The new architecture brings changes in configuration variables of the simulators (OpenSim.ini), and also changes in the way the servers are configured. What follows explains the new configuration variables in OpenSim.ini, using the asset service as an example.

 * If you want to use the current HyperGrid architecture that supports asset exchanges between simulators in different grids, you want to set it to HGAssetBroker, independent of whether your grid is standalone or external.
-Many more asset service connectors may come long. For example, if someone implements an asset server that uses a completely different protocol, all the implementer needs to do is to write one of these service connectors for his/her service implementation, as a region module; the simulator administrators can then simply install that module and specify its name above, as a replacement for the 3 options that come with OpenSim.

 The last variable in the block above specifies whether you want your simulator to cache assets in memory or not. Memory caching improves speed on asset access but increases memory usage.

 The first group of variables pertains to the LocalAssetServicesConnector module in the previous section; the second group (only one variable) pertains to RemoteAssetServicesConnector; and the third group pertains to HGAssetBroker.
-* '''Parameters for Local assets'''. If you configured OpenSim in standalone before, you are probably familiar with most of that first set of variables: they are meant to configure the access to the assets database. The only new variable in there is the first one, LocalServiceModule. It specifies the local asset service implementation. Leave it as is.

 * '''Parameters for Remote assets''': If you specified RemoteAssetServicesConnector in the service connectors section, you need to set the URI of the asset server, so uncomment that line and set the URI to be that of the server your simulator is using.
