For various projects, especially [[/software/Noidfs|Noidfs]], it would be very useful to be able to reliably communicate with other machines on my
LAN, or across a slow VPN link. I want automatic peer discovery, simple and reliable multicast and simple and reliable unicast. After searching around, and evaluating things like Corba, TIPC, and RTSP, I eventually decided to write my own.
LAN, or across a slow VPN link. I want automatic peer discovery, simple and reliable multicast and simple and reliable unicast. After searching around, and evaluating things like Corba, TIPC, Danga and RTSP, I eventually decided to write my own.
This project is about 80% complete. See the [[/software/Net::Cluster Design|Net::Cluster Design]] document for more info.
