The original "NIST EMC", a distant ancestor of LinuxCNC, already had a distributed control approach with NML-over-TCP ten years ago. This was never widely used among LinuxCNC users, and we know that it is entirely broken in the 2.7 release due to the way we improved behavior with multiple (local) user interface programs. We would still be happy to accept patches that make NML-over-TCP work again. More background: https://sourceforge.net/p/emc/bugs/328/ http://mid.gmane.org/20141024221851.GB54584%40unpythonic.net There is also a test of nml-over-tcp in the branch "[origin/]jepler/test-nml-over-tcp". This branch also contains a fix of (some) 64-bit problems in the code, but it is missing a fix for the reliable command reception code that was added in linuxcnc 2.7.
