53.2 Configuring the TCP Transport

TCP Transport is distributed as a both shared and static library in <NDDSHOME>/lib/<architecture>. The library is called nddstransporttcp.

Mechanisms for Configuring the Transport:

• By explicitly instantiating a new transport (see 53.2.2 Explicitly Instantiating the TCP Transport Plugin) and then registering it with the DomainParticipant (see 51.7 Installing Additional Builtin Transport Plugins with register_transport()). (Not available in the Java and C# APIs.)
• Through the Property QoS policy of the DomainParticipant (on Linux and Windows systems only). This process is described in 53.2.3 Configuring the TCP Transport with the Property QosPolicy.

This section describes:

• 53.2.1 Choosing a Transport Mode
• 53.2.2 Explicitly Instantiating the TCP Transport Plugin
• 53.2.3 Configuring the TCP Transport with the Property QosPolicy
• 53.2.4 Setting the Initial Peers
• 53.2.6 Support for External Hardware Load Balancers in TCP Transport Plugin
• 53.2.7 TCP/TLS Transport Properties
