Claim 15:
16. A system for the provision of time-critical services via a flow control environment, comprising:
a flow control environment;
a plurality of server components, each of said plurality of server components being assigned to a service and formed by a flow control component loadable into and executable in the flow control environment;
at least one gateway component of a subnetwork comprising the flow control environment;
a configuration unit for the at least one gateway component, the configuration unit being configured to determine globally valid access information assigned to addressing information of the server components which is valid within the subnetwork and to transmit forwarding and/or filter rules which maps the access information to the at least one gateway component, based an operating mode predefined via the configuration unit, at least one gateway components connected in parallel and/or in series being used, and the at least one gateway component being at least one of a load balancer and a reverse proxy, and at least one of (i) a number and a connection of load balancers and (ii) reverse proxies being predefined by the operating mode;
an aggregator component which is configured to make the globally valid access information available for use of the services outside the subnetwork;
wherein the at least one gateway component is configured to forward service access requests to the server components in accordance with the forwarding and/or filter rules and the operating mode; and
wherein a plurality of mutually redundant aggregator components are used.
