Connext: Data-centric DDS Framework for Performance, Scalability, Reliability and Autonomy

With the Connext data-centric approach, applications and devices automatically discover each other and talk peer-to-peer, over reliable multicast, across platforms and large-scale and geographically distributed systems. No message brokers or servers are required. The result:

  • Latency in the microseconds, even with many subscribers
  • Throughput of millions of messages per second
  • Non-stop availability with no single point of failure
  • Autonomous operation in highly distributed systems
