Does the Open Bloomberg controller function like a firewall? Does it preclude any direct
traffic between the customer network and the Bloomberg networks? Does the Bloomberg
controller mediate communication between Bloomberg and the customers?
What measures are appropriate to guard this connection and protect the internal network?
How confident are you that the Bloomberg controller can be trusted to not route IP traffic?

Actually, it's the Open Bloomberg controller operates as the client. The
Open Bloomberg software running on the PC is the server. In other words,
the Open Bloomberg controller initiates connections to the software
running on the PC. If the PC software isn't running, this connection
fails. The controller waits a while and then tries again. When the
software on the PC is running, the connection will succeed the PC software
can communicate with the controller.
