This OPC aggregation server is by default configured to aggregate the UA Sample Server and UA Sample Client. Once the Aggregation Server is started, the aggregated OPC UA servers can be viewed in the namespace of the Aggregation Server with the Aggregation Client or any other OPC UA client.
They are built with the Quickstart application template (OPC Client/Server) and use the OPC Foundation UA .NET Standard Library SDK. Therefore they support the opc.tcp and http transports.
There is a .Net 4.6 based aggregation server with UI and a console version of the aggregation server which runs on any supported OS for .NET Standard Library.
