|
|
The socket node-type is the most comprehensive and complex one.
|
|
|
|
|
It allows to send and receive simulation data over the network.
|
|
|
|
|
Internally it uses the well known BSD socket API.

|
|
|
Please note that only datagram / packet, connection-less based network protocols are supported.
|
|
|
|
|
This means that there's currently no support for TCP!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The implementation supports multiple protocols / OSI layers:

|
|
|
|
- Layer 1: Raw Ethernet Frames (no routing!)
|
|
|
|
|
- Layer 2: Raw IP (internet / VPN routing possible)
|
|
|
|
|
- Layer 3: UDP encapsulation
