I am probably super-naive.. but aren't networks inherently non-realtime? Ethernet, for instance, has a some inherent non-determinism and chaos associated with it (collosions and the back-off algorithms come to mind). Don't such things pretty much throw all realtime expectations out the window?
However, I am pretty naive about this.. anyone care to correct me? -Calin On Wed, 10 Jul 2002, R O N A L D D U C K wrote: > I am planning to use network support in my real-time section of my > application.
