Boundaries can be any of the following:

Boundary groups
Boundary groups are used to manage your network locations.
Boundary groups have the following functions:
- They enable clients to find a primary site.
- They can provide clients with a list of available site systems that have content that associates with the distribution point and state migration point site system servers with the boundary group.
- To support site assignment, configure the boundary group to specify an assigned site for clients.
- To support content location, specify one or more site systems. Site systems are specified with the distribution point or state migration point site system role.
- Both the site assignment and content location configurations are optional for boundary groups.
- When there is a plan for boundary groups, consider creating one set of boundary groups for content location and a second set of boundary groups for automatic site assignment. This avoids overlapping boundaries for site assignment.
