Using UDP for discovery and TCP for user data

RTI Connext DDS allows you to use different transports for communication between endpoints in your application (e.g., shared memory, UDP, TCP, etc.). You can take advantage of this flexibility and use different transports for discovery data and user data in the same application. This article shows ...

Modern C++ API: why doesn't my DomainParticipant (or other entity) get deleted?

In the Connext DDS modern C++ API, many entities are "reference types" with an automatic lifecycle management based on a shared count (see API documentation ) . Most times you don't need to worry about deleting entities as long as their scope is well defined. However, some times you can forget to ...

How to capture traffic if my Connext DDS applications are communicating through shared memory

Wireshark and tcpdump are very powerful tools which you can use to capture traffic. They may come in handy when debugging issues with your DDS applications. These tools can capture all kinds of packets: RTPS, UDP, TCP, IP… However, they cannot capture traffic if your applications are communicating ...

Configuring DDS to mitigate performance degradation due to packet loss

If you are using Reliable communication, you could see a performance degradation due to packet loss and resending data sample fragments. This is more probable when using data bigger than 1500 Bytes (over Ethernet). In general, a DDS application using a transport such as UDPv4 splits data samples ...

I am not receiving samples, could it be IP fragmentation?

What is IP fragmentation? IP Fragmentation occurs when the payload provided from the transport layer (typically UDP or TCP) exceeds the maximum payload that fits in a single Ethernet Frame (a.k.a. MTU). When the receiver NIC gets IP fragments, it stores them in a buffer until all the fragments are ...

How to Set the DSCP Flag in Your System

DSCP (Differentiated Services Code Point) is a series of bits in the IP header for classification purposes. These bits specify the precedence value of the packet, the drop probability, and the network service used. ...

Why do I get the error "RTI Data Distribution Service No source for License information"?

The error "RTI Data Distribution Service No source for License information" happens when the license file cannot be found or the license has expired. If that is the case, the user application will be unable to initialize Connext DDS, depending on the terms of the license. You can trigger this error ...

Modern C++ API with GCC > 5.1 in Connext 5.2.x

GCC 5.1 introduced a new version of libstdc++ with a library ABI that includes new implementations of std::string and std::list (see in GCC online documentation). This new ABI breaks backwards compatibility with applications and libraries linked against older versions of libstdc++ using std::string ...

How do I load QoS profiles via source code in Modern C++?

It is possible to create an Entity (a DataReader , DataWriter, or DomainParticipant ) with a QoS profile defined in the USER_QOS_PROFILES.xml file. In the Java, C, Traditional C++ and .NET APIs, there are methods such as: DDS_Publisher_create_datawriter_with_profile() Depending on what kind of ...
