ROCAUCd

ROCAUCd is a Linux daemon that manages the ROC (Reliable Open Communications) protocol. This protocol is designed for reliable, ordered, and connection-oriented communication over unreliable networks. ROCAUCd acts as a user-space implementation of this protocol, providing a robust framework for applications requiring dependable data transfer.

The daemon typically runs in the background, listening for incoming ROC connections and managing outgoing ones. It handles tasks such as connection establishment, data sequencing, acknowledgments, and retransmissions to ensure data integrity and delivery. ROCAUCd is often used in scenarios where network instability is a concern, such as in industrial control systems, robotics, or certain types of distributed computing.

The configuration of ROCAUCd can usually be managed through a configuration file, allowing administrators to specify parameters like port numbers, timeouts, and buffer sizes. Its presence simplifies the development of applications that need reliable communication, as developers can leverage the daemon's functionality rather than implementing the complex details of the ROC protocol themselves. ROCAUCd is typically found on Linux-based systems and may be integrated with various networking stacks or middleware solutions.
