If you can open a socket, then off to the races. The point to talk about
is what do the separate programs want to say to each other.
My personal favorite topic of discusion, Here is my XYZ + HPR, do with
it what you like. I would like yours too.
Check out non-blocking UDP socks.
I find full blown DIS libs to be a bit over kill, but I am sure there are
quite a few people who would disagree with me.
Also, people have long discussions about latency, no pun intended. If you
transmit packets under 1024 or 512bytes then you will probably have
200-400 ms round trip delays, on average between sites that have something
15-20 hops found.
I haven't looked, but the Naval Postgraduate Schools talks about having
a bit of DIS code avail to the public, as I recall.
Cheers,
in a "traceroute"
