<br>
If you've got a chance, check out chapter 12 in Phil Windley's "Digital Identity" text, which provides a reasonable overview of 3 different federation patterns:<br>
<br>
Ad-hoc federation<br>
Hub-and-spoke federation<br>
Identity federation network<br>
<br>

<div>Was recently asked to look at <a target="_blank" href="http://kennisnet.nl/">Kennisnet.nl</a> as federation for another client. Looking at their fed they call it a "hub and spoke" federation. Their metadata only consists of a single SP/Idp pair that Kennisnet maintains. Does not look to work like the
more traditional federations (a'la InCommon etc).</div>

<div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">
Google has been pretty worthless trying to get information on how this type of federation works. Can anyone enlighten me?</div>
