Extending ACNET communication types to include multicast semantics
R. Neswold, C. King · University of North Texas Digital Library (University of North Texas) · 2009
In Fermilab's accelerator control system, multicast communication wasn't properly incorporated into ACNET's transport layer, nor in its programming API. We present some recent work that makes multicasts naturally fit in the ACNET network environment. We also show how these additions provide high-availability for ACNET services.
