# Clients @subpage gtfpga @subpage opal @subpage file @subpage socket @subpage ngsi Every server needs clients which act as sinks / sources for simulation data. In case of S2SS these clients are called _nodes_. Take a look at the `clients/` directory for them: - RTDS via GTFPGA and UDP - RTDS via GTFPGA and PCIexpress - OPAL via Asynchronous Process and UDP - OPAL via Asynchronous Process and Shared memory - NGSI 9/10 (FIRWARE context broker) - Labview (*planned*) - Simulink (*planned*)
