Network Overview

DevNet defines a connection-based scheme to facilitate all application communications. A DevNet connection provides a communication path between multiple end-points. The end-points of a connection are applications that need to share data. Transmissions associated with a particular connection are assigned an identification value when a connection is established. This identification value is called the Connection ID (CID).

Communication objects model the communication characteristics of a particular Application-to-Application(s) relationship. The term end-point refers to one of the communicating entities involved in a connection.

DevNet’s connection-based scheme defines a dynamic means by which the following two types of connections can be established:

• I/O connections: Provide dedicated, special-purpose communication paths between a producing application and one or more consuming applications. Application-specific I/O data moves through these ports.
• Explicit Messaging Connections: Provide generic, multi-purpose communication paths between two devices. These connections often are referred to as just Messaging Connections. Explicit Messages provide the typical request/response-oriented network communications.
