This chapter describes version 1 of the Enea LINX Point-To-Point Connection Manager Protocol.
The PTP Connection Manager is designed to meet the following requirements:
Generic design - The design should allow several shared memory concepts. It should be easy to port the solution to other hardware. The generic parts should be separated for reuse with interfaces supporting as many different underlying layers as possible.
Performance - The throughput should be as high as possible and the latency as low as possible. This includes minimizing the number of data copying and use of locks.
Robust - The data exchange should be performed as simple as possible. Minimizing the complexity of the solution will minimize the possibility of making errors.
This CM is intended to communicate over reliable media, but in case of one side failure, the peer side is able to detect and react, as described in Section 6.1.2, PTP Connection Supervision Protocol.
