Detailed Description

Determines the flow control characteristics of the com.rti.dds.publication.FlowController.

The flow control characteristics shape the network traffic by determining how often and in what order associated asynchronous com.rti.dds.publication.DataWriter instances are serviced and how much data they are allowed to send.

Note that these settings apply directly to the com.rti.dds.publication.FlowController, and does not depend on the number of com.rti.dds.publication.DataWriter instances the com.rti.dds.publication.FlowController is servicing. For instance, the specified flow rate does not double simply because two com.rti.dds.publication.DataWriter instances are waiting to write.

Entity:

com.rti.dds.publication.FlowController

Properties:

RxO = N/A

Changeable = NO for com.rti.dds.publication.FlowControllerProperty_t.scheduling_policy, YES for com.rti.dds.publication.FlowControllerProperty_t.token_bucket. However, the special value of com.rti.dds.infrastructure.Duration_t.INFINITE as com.rti.dds.publication.FlowControllerTokenBucketProperty_t.period is strictly used to create an on-demand com.rti.dds.publication.FlowController. The token period cannot toggle from an infinite to finite value (or vice versa). It can, however, change from one finite value to another.
