Red Hat Network   Proxy model

Satellite model   Systems connect to the satellite server running locally. The 

satellite server functions as a locally connected RHN update server. It can 

receive updates for distribution to your network via Internet connection to 

RHN servers. It can also be loaded with updates manually, using physical 

media, thus eliminating the need for an external Internet connection for the 

satellite server. The satellite server performs all functions of the remote RHN 

server hosted by Red Hat in the Hosted and Proxy models above.
