The API defines a simple set of functions to reduce the overall impact to your distributed system. Current functionality is limited to UDP and internal sockets. We are actively integrating additional protocols.

connect(); sendto(); recvfrom(); broadcast(); disconnect();

Jr supports Microsoft Windows XP and the Linux operating systems. Automatic detection and use of multiple Ethernet connections and network bridging for JAUS messages are also supported.

Jr Middleware defines function-based API that maintains a natural interface between the application and transport layers. The small API provides access to the transport capabilities of the Jr Run-Time Engine. This API is defined in C and can be used with C/C++, Visual Basic, C# and Java. The Microsoft Windows version of Jr Middleware supports Visual Basic. Jr also provides a text-based configuration file allowing for performance optimizations to your network environment. Default values have been carefully selected to ensure optimal performance for most applications.
