TLM sockets

[Shashidhar]

HI 

1)I would like to know the difference between tlm_initiator_socket   and simple_initiator_socket.

From TLM LRM ,I understood that simple_initiator_socket. is also derived from tlm_initiator_socket and we need to register this socket with nb_transport_bw in the constructor.

But after from this,is there any advantages of using it over  tlm_initiator_socke.

2)And also simple_initiator_socket is part of tlm_utils and the feature which are part of tlm_utils does not support inter operable ,I would like to know why??

 

Regards

Hi,

You can look into the previous discussion on the same.

You can also refer the Doulos TLM tutorial here about the tlm_utils.

Hello Shashidhar,

You can look at the heading "Interoperability and the Base Protocol" on the same page on the Doulos TLM Tutorial page:

Hopefully it helps, let me know.

Hi Ameya

 

I have gone through the the link which you mentioned.

if my understanding  is correct,since simple sockets  derive from standard sockets (tlm_initiator and target sockets) and  these standard sockets are Inter operable ,so even simple sockets also supports interoperability.
