Enhanced Communication Abstraction Layer

The enhanced Communication Abstraction Layer (eCAL) is a middleware that enables scalable, high performance interprocess communication on a single computer node or between different nodes in a computer network. eCAL uses a publish-subscribe pattern to automatically connect different nodes in the network. eCAL automatically chooses the best available data transport mechanism for each link: * Shared memory for local communication (incredible fast!) * UDP for network communication
