Compatible software for humans and processors.

Overview

PrCONNECT/Pro is a TCP/IP protocol stack for embedded systems. It provides the standard BSD Socket Interface that facilitates the easy reuse of UNIX-based network application software. PrCONNECT/Pro provides a large number of protocols as the standard features as well as optional products, including protocols for security and routing. It brings substantial performance and network capabilities not only on multimedia or portable consumer digital devices, but also on higher-level, advanced network infrastructure equipment.

BSD Socket Interface availability

The BSD socket interface is available in PrCONNECT/Pro, allowing you to easily reuse the existing UNIX- and Linux-based network applications, and also utilize the network application expertise of your UNIX/LINUX engineers.

Highest-class performance

PrCONNCET/Pro achieved over 74Mbps (*2) throughput at the TCP /IP protocol level. (*2) Based on 100BASE. The value may vary depending on multiple factors such as the target/host environment. For more information, please contact us.

IP Multicast compatible

PrCONNECT/Pro can send and receive files using IP Multicast, which transmits datagrams from one source to multiple designated destinations over the network. This is ideal for distributing large-sized media data such as movies or music.

Configurable memory size

You can adjust the entire code size and save memory by using the function-selecting switch. For example, when DHCP client/DNS client/IP Multicast/AutoIP are not needed in your application, you can choose not to include these functions by using the function-selecting switch during system configuration.

Platform independence

PrCONNECT/Pro is designed to be independent of operating systems, processors, and network controllers, and can be easily ported to your target system. PrCONNECT/Pro is written mostly in C language and is independent on the CPU. Modular architecture from device drivers and OS-dependent sections makes it simple to migrate PrCONNECT/Pro into a different environment. By default, PrCONNECT/Pro is configured to run on PrKERNELv4 and eT-Kernel, which has multiple profiles such as eT-Kernel Multi-Core Edition and eT-Kernel/POSIX. On eT-Kernel, you can run PrCONNECT/Pro by implementing it either as a library, or as a T-Kernel subsystem. (Refer to T-Engine's configurable software architecture for more information on subsystems.) Even if implemented as a T-Kernel subsystem, the interface provides Socket API. Additionally, you can operate PrCONNECT/Pro from a loadable system program or process application, when you implement it as a T-Kernel subsystem. You can also dynamically add loadable drivers to PrCONNECT/Pro.
