System state model of the real-time API

The system state model of the real-time state API functions similarly to a database.

It is composed of tables.
Each table has one or more fields.
Each table has zero or more rows.
Tables can relate to each other via rows that serve as functional keys.

In the initial state of the model, no rows exist in any tables. The system state model is updated in real time to reflect system state transitions, such as when clients connect and support sessions begin. The system state model persists until the B Series Appliance's processes are started. After a process restart, the model is reset to its initial state. The time between the model's initial state and the next reset is referred to as the model's lifetime.
