RT-TCP/IP

RTX provides deterministic processing of the RT-TCP/IP protocol stack within the RTSS environment and adds networking capability to RTX applications. In order to maximize portability between RTX and Windows, RTX provides applications with an API that conforms to a subset of the functions defined in the Windows Sockets 2.0 (Winsock) specification for Windows. For more information, see Using the Winsock API.

RTX provides an RtxTcpIp Protocol Stack that accesses the physical transport layer (network card) via an Ethernet driver running under the Real-Time Subsystem (RTSS). RT-TCP/IP is an optional component of the RTX Subsystem and can be enabled or disabled. For more information, see Enabling and Disabling RT-TCP/IP Support.

To view a list of supported network cards, go to http://www.intervalzero.com/pdfs/IZSupportedNIC.pdf or contact IntervalZero Customer Support.

The driver source code for all the supported network cards are included in the RTX SDK as examples of developing NIC drivers.
