[mico-devel] New Protocol

[Volker Kaiser]

Hi,

Thank you for the information. I was pretty sure that mico has  this extending 
possibilities. 

In my company, they have a proprietary networking protocol which I thought 
would be pretty cool to use together with CORBA. So I picked an ORB which 
advertises the so-called "Pluggable Protocols" and extended its UDP protocol.

Now, for different reasons we are no longer sure if this was the right choice.
So I started looking around for some alternatives and found mico. We are
not planning to replace our ORB right now, but it's good to know that there
are other options.

I mentioned UDP above, so you can guess that this proprietary protocol
is also connection-less and "behaves" much like UDP. I will look at the files 
you told me and see if that would work for us.

Thanks again,
Volker
