    First I was excited, then I saw that it's based on DDS.

      why the hate on DDS?

      seems like a perfect fit.

        Using DDS to deliver data to X machines over multicast, with some real time (soft) QOS is a powerful solution.

        For things like avionics, industrial automation, etc.

        I think if the server world ever thought about the advantages of multicast, it might solve some problems there.

        There are about 5 viable vendors in this space, and about 6 open source projects out there floating around.

        And interoperability between vendors is very good. IMHO.
