Connectivity check

Connectivity check is the default
DIS PDU listening channel, fed by
devo.stl.nps.navy.mil
Clients use it to check for direct multicast backbone (or multicast relay) connectivity to clients. Please do not send on this channel! We want to keep bandwidth low enough for modem links. | ||||||
dis-java-vrml testing
open to all entities
| 127 (global) | DIS Entity State PDUs | _ | _ | see Examples page | to be determined |
dis-java-vrml testing is for unrestricted sending, receiving and experimentation.
Developing sensible test conventions requires further dialog and careful experimentation. Please ensure that your streams eventually time out and stop! |
