# Data Relay Link Relationship

> What is and is not implemented between Data Relay Control and Data Relay Link.

# Data Relay Link Relationship

**Data Relay Link** and **Data Relay Control** are separate products in the current audited repositories.

* Data Relay Link provides connectivity/relay capabilities and has its own documentation at `link.datarelay.run`.
* Data Relay Control provides data collection, processing, protection, delivery, governance, and operational control.

## Current integration status

The audited Data Relay Control source does **not** implement:

* Link instance registration
* Link heartbeat/status synchronization
* centralized Link client or service inventory
* Control-to-Link policy delivery
* shared identity/token enrollment
* remote configuration push to Link
* Link event/audit ingestion contract

Therefore this site does not claim a centralized Control↔Link management plane.

Both products may exist in the same environment, but any operational relationship must be designed and implemented before it is documented as supported.
