See \url{http://github.com/Opendigitalradio/ODR-EDI2EDI} for information about that tool. -\subsection{ZeroMQ} -\label{sec:zeromq} -Previous versions of this guide described an IP protocol based on -ZeroMQ, a library that permits the creation -of a socket connection with automatic connection management (connection, -disconnection, error handling). This has now been deprecated in favour of -the standards compliant EDI, which, when carried over TCP, can also be -used over congested networks like the Internet. - -ZeroMQ was used both between for encoded audio contribution and for distribution -of ensemble data, and was a custom, non-specified protocol. It was created -before EDI got implemented in the ODR-mmbTools, and because carrying ETI inside -IP was not sufficient for carrying complete timestamps, and because there was no -other obvious option for audio contribution besides inventing a custom protocol. - -Now that it is proven that EDI-over-TCP can work satisfactorily over congested -networks, there is no reason for a protocol that is not conforming to ETSI -specifications to exist anymore. - -\subsection{Pipes} - -Pipes are an older real-time method to connect several encoders to one -multiplexer on the same machine. It uses the same configuration as the file -input but instead of using files, FIFOs, also called ``named pipes'' are -created first using \texttt{mkfifo}. - -This setup is deprecated in favour of EDI. - % vim: spl=en spell tw=80 et |
