[IPP] [Cloud] Simplified Cloud Imaging Diagram for a typical MFD

Randy,

The arrows are mainly there to show which box initiates the communications.  And based on Smith's comments I think I'll just label each of the lines for later references so it truly is just a high-level view without any of the specific details.

The arrows just emphasize what’s defined in the functional spec.

Each of the local services is "connected" to a corresponding service in the cloud.  I have purposely not included any fan-out in the diagram in order to focus our discussions on this simplified model.  We can expand our discussions once there is agreement on the simplified model/diagram.
