RTI's NDDS is an open architecture real-time networking platform which supports the Object Management Group's (OMG) Data Distribution Service (DDS) V1.0 standard.
NDDS allows networked applications to easily connect with multiple data sources for communication of real-time data using an easy-to-use API.
The technology is well proven and provides deterministic data delivery over standard IP networks while offering services for monitoring and control.
RTI supports both Wind River VxWorks on the x86 architecture and Microsoft Windows.
