Would be nice to have

  • Priority
  • Point - multi-point data transfer

Question

  • UDP - fast, no delay due to ACK packages
  • TCP/IP - reliable, easy

See: discussion about data transfer

Potential application in IGT

  • Tracker data transfer
  • Image transfer from MRI
  • Robot coordinate transfer
  • Robot control
  • Periferials: OpenTracker/Navitrack has 3D mouse driver etc.
