There is more to the DIS (Distributed *Interactive* Simulation) than I originally thought. I found this in the X3D standard: http://www.web3d.org/files/specifications/19775-1/V3.3/Part01/components/dis.html if one can set up isNetworkWriter, it would seem like anything on the network would be writable by that node.
I understand the attraction for using encryption on streams of data for efficiency reasons. Can one compare E vats http://erights.org/ to DIS? Sorry if I keep bothering people. Sometimes the best way for me to learn is start a conversation.
