RTI Connext DDS provides comprehensive support for configurability and Quality of Service (QoS). Applications can take advantage of this to prioritize the different data Topics and message-flows, control the amount of history maintained by the middleware caches, ensure reliable delivery of information, accommodate low-bandwidth or high-latency links, etc. The following cheat-sheet provides a convenient summary of all the QoS policies.

RTI Connext DDS Pluggable Transport API (Experimental Feature)
The Connext DDS Transport-Plugin API presents an abstract communication model that is independent of underlying physical transport devices. This API is used by the higher layers of Connext DDS to send and receive messages. The use of this API enables applications to use virtually any physical transport that can carry data from one application node to another.
Code that implements the Connext DDS Transport-Plugin API can be plugged into the Connext DDS middleware either by directly linking into the Connext DDS executable, or configuring the ParticipantQoS to load a dynamic library.
For information on how to wrote and configure a new Transport Plugin, consult the following documentation:
