# About the Discovery Framework implementation of Corda

All communication between the Discovery Framework and Corda occurs through the Corda Redirector. The location of the Corda Server servlet (or Corda Server) is configurable, allowing it to be deployed locally for development and remotely for production.

The Corda Redirector module is a proxy that allows the browser requests that embed generated chart images to be routed through the application server (in this case Liferay), rather than going directly to the Corda server. All requests for Corda images are made to the Corda Redirector module.

This new redirector-based deployment model ensures a greater level of control over network infrastructure. It enables system administrators to control network access, by allowing direct access only to the application server(s).

For more information about the Corda Redirector, see the Corda documentation.
