14.3.2. Simple Participant Discovery Protocol 2.0 Integration

Cloud Discovery Service now supports the new Simple Participant Discovery Protocol 2.0. The Simple Participant Discovery Protocol 2.0 is an alternative to the original Simple Participant Discovery Protocol. Simple Participant Discovery Protocol 2.0 is designed to decrease bandwidth usage and improve the reliability of the participant discovery and update process.

For information on how to configure Cloud Discovery Service to use Simple Participant Discovery Protocol 2.0, see the section on Protocol Mode.

14.3.3. RTI Lightweight Security Plugins Integration

Cloud Discovery Service now supports the new RTI Lightweight Security Plugins library for pre-shared key security. The RTI Lightweight Security Plugins is a separate library that defines an alternate set of Security Plugins. These plugins allow RTPS messages to be protected with a per-participant key derived from some publicly available data and a pre-shared key seed.

For information on how to configure and use the RTI Lightweight Security Plugins in Cloud Discovery Service, see the section on Security.

See the Migration Guide on the RTI Community Portal for migration issues related to this integration.
