Arbiter developer's kit
The Arbiter technology has been developed by Cirrus to provide a framework for the rapid development of “glueware” software applications that integrate modern military communications systems.
Such applications are often needed to integrate legacy communications equipment not originally intended for use within a network, and for managing data flow so that operationally critical traffic is assured quality of service during network congestion.
The Arbiter technology provides the data switching, prioritisation and status & control functions that are common to this class of applications. Additionally, the Arbiter technology provides a uniform framework for the introduction of those software modules that are inherently bespoke - interfaces to particular communications bearers, and software that identifies operationally critical traffic according to complex criteria.
The Arbiter Developer's Kit enables system integrators to rapidly develop and test Arbiter applications that are customised to the circumstances of specific military communications systems.
The API for the Arbiter technology and a range of associated technical information is publicly available at www.cirrusrtps.com.au
| Description | Pertinent information |
|---|---|
|
The Cirrus Arbiter is a technology framework for the rapid development of software for the integration of communications systems. Such “glueware” applications must be developed bespoke to open up communications links not originally intended for use within networks, for identification of operationally critical traffic, and for the prioritisation of critical traffic into congested links. |
The Arbiter technology removes much of the technical risk of developing communications glueware on multiple fronts; through provision of the common elements, a consistent framework and API for development of the inherently bespoke elements, and a set of development and test tools to expedite the development cycle. |
