The Open Real-Time Ethernet (ORTE) is an open source implementation of
-Real-Time Publish-Subscribe (RTPS) communication protocol. RTPS is a
-new application layer protocol targeted at real-time communication
-area, which is built on the top of standard UDP stack. Since there are
-many TCP/IP stack implementations under many operating systems and
-RTPS protocol does not have any other special HW/SW requirements, it
-should be easily ported to many HW/SW target platforms. Because it
-uses only UDP protocol, it retains control of timing and reliability.
