| − | == Goal ==
| |
| − | * Slicer + IGSTK
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Technologies ==
| |
| − | * Look at Publish subscribe ORB/ACE - [http://portals.omg.org/dds DDS] [Peter]
| |
| − | * Socket IGSTK [Junichi Patrick]
| |
| − | * Navitrack - phase out?
| |
| − | ** Hard to debug
| |
| − | ** Not modular (some modules can't be disabled)
| |
| − | ** No error handling - just halt
| |
| − | ** Not as simple and clean as just using the standard TCP/IP socket
| |
| − | ** Still problems with image transfer under Windows and possibly other OS (packet size is not based on the size allowed by OS)
| |
| − | ** Security: can be flooded with packets, no authentication
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Requirements== | |
| − | * Reliable for command transfer (all data transferred, in order)
| |
| − | * Fast for tracking data transfer (only the latest coordinate is required, can lose data)
| |
| − | * Image transfer (500K or more)
| |
| − | * Data types (struct: string, integer, float)
| |
| − | * Data type checking (number is correctly formatted etc)
| |
| − | * Time out (device is down)
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Would be nice to have==
| |
| − | * Priority
| |
| − | * Point - multi-point data transfer
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Questions==
| |
| − | * UDP - fast, no delay due to ACK packages
| |
| − | * TCP/IP - reliable, easy
| |
| − | * Security
| |
| − | ** malicious packets or sent by mistake
| |
| − | ** CRC and auth.?
| |
| − | ** pop up a dialog box before accepting data? (just one, to avoid flood)
| |
| − | ** same issues with [[Slicer3:Slicer_Daemon]]
| |
| − | * Firewall?
