+The Open Real-Time Ethernet (ORTE) is an open source implementation of
+Real-Time Publish-Subscribe (RTPS) communication protocol. RTPS is new
+application layer protocol targeted to real-time communication area,
+which is build 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.

+ 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).
