ESRO-MulPub-SRC: Efficient Short Remote Operations (ESRO)

SHORT DESCRIPTION

Efficient Short Remote Operations (ESRO) is a complete implementation of RFC-2188. ESRO provides reliable connectionless remote operation services on top of UDP (or any other non-reliable connectionless transport service) with minimum overhead ESRO protocol supports segmentation and reassembly, concatenation and separation as well as multiplexing for service users (applications).

OVERVIEW

• Data Sheets
  
  • ESROS: Base Source [pdf]  [ps]
  • ESROS: Test Tools Source [pdf]  [ps]

• Purpose Of ESRO: A Foundation for the Development of Efficient Protocols. This industry white paper provides an overview description of ESRO, including a comparison of ESRO with other candidates for this problem space such as RPC (Sun Microsystems), ROSE (ISO), WTP (the WAP Forum), T/TCP, RDP and VMTP.

• Source Description ESRO Source DescriptionThis document provides details on the programming development environment of Neda's source code of ESROS (Efficient Short Remote Operation Services) protocols.

• ESRO Protocol: ESRO has been published as RFC-2188

• The ESRO Organization: ESRO.org hosts a number of mailing lists to support maintenance, enhancement and promotion of the ESRO protocols and related technologies.

• Application Programming Interfaces (APIs): Fully documented APIs interfacing to ESRO

• ESRO Server Development Toolkit: Binary form of ESRO Software Development Toolkit for the following platforms is available:
  • Linux and Solaris (and most other Unix)
  • Windows 2000/XP
• ESRO in Embedded Environments: Portation of ESRO to embedded environments is as simple as selecting or implementing Open C Platform modules.

  The Open C Platform is subject to Library General Public License (LGPL) and is publicly availble.

• ESRO in Java and J2ME: Open-source Java and J2ME implementations of ESRO are available under the General Public License (GPL).

• ESRO Stress and Regression Test Tools: Stress and Regression Test Tools for ESRO protocols are available in source code form.

• Applications using ESRO: Uses of ESRO in vertical applications include: telemetry, dispatch, credit card verification and vehicle tracking. For an example of how reliable and efficient applications can easily be built on top of ESRO, see Efficient Mail Submission and Delivery (EMSD).

• ESRO Commercial Software Licensing: Neda Communications, Inc is the author of ESRO Protocol and this implementation of ESRO. Commercial licenses for the above software is available through Neda.

• ESRO Commercial Support: Neda Communications, Inc provides Maintenance, Portation Assistance and Consulting services for the ESRO software.
