-ORTE is an open source C++ implementation of the Object Management
-Group (OMG) Data Distribution Service (DDS).
+[[!toc levels=1]]
----
+The Open Real-Time Ethernet (ORTE) is an open source implementation of
+Real-Time Publish-Subscribe (RTPS) communication protocol. RTPS is an
+application layer protocol targeted at real-time communication area,
+which is built on the top of standard UDP stack. Because it uses only
+the UDP protocol, it retains control of timing and reliability. 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. ORTE currently runs on Linux, FreeBSD, Windows, Android and
+RTEMS.

+
+ Specifications
+
+* [Data-Distribution Service (DDS) related standards](http://www.omg.org/spec/#DDS)
+ – ORTE implements the RTPS protocol. It offers its own API, not the
+ DDS API.
+* [The Real-time Publish-Subscribe Wire Protocol (DDSI-RTPS)](http://www.omg.org/spec/DDSI-RTPS/)
+ – this is a newer version of the protocol implemented by ORTE.
+* [[Real Time Publish-Subscribe (RTPS) 1.0|rtps1.2.pdf]] – ORTE
+ implements this version of the protocol.
+
+## Download
+
+ORTE can be downloaded from
+[a project page at SourceForge.net](https://sourceforge.net/projects/orte/files/).
+
+Development happens mainly in topic branches of
+[our git repository](https://rtime.felk.cvut.cz/gitweb/orte.git/heads),
+which is mirrored to [Github](https://github.com/CTU-IIG/orte).
+
+Note that [old releases](http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=51629&package_id=108732) are located elsewhere.
+
+## Support
+
+ORTE is collectively maintained by Michal Sojka, Pavel Píša and Petr
+Smolík. You can submit an
+[issue on Github](https://github.com/CTU-IIG/orte/issues) or contact
+the maintainers via email at <orte@rtime.felk.cvut.cz>.

+
+ OpenDDS is an open-source C++ implementation of the Object
+ Management Group's specification "Data Distribution Service for
+ Real-time Systems". OpenDDS is built on the ACE (ADAPTIVE
+ Communication Environment) abstraction layer to provide platform
+ portability. OpenDDS also leverages capabilities of TAO (The ACE
+ Orb), such as its IDL compiler and as the basis of the OpenDDS DCPS
+ Information Repository (DCPSInfoRepo).
