To Whom may want to Help,
I have two IKC clients that publish their states to a IKC server (each one
is a separate process).
I want to be able to use IKC to make both clients talk with each other once
they have published their states.
I tried to subscribe from one client to the other client, but I get this
error...
1365: Unknown kernel 'ClientImTryingToConnectTo'
I'm going to work under the assumption that the middleman server is
required by your network configuration.
I'm monitoring my connection process and I see that all of the foreign
kernels are connected.......but I have to post back to the server who has to
post to the other clients.
Is there a way to have direct IKC client communication between multiple
clients after the publishing/subscription portion is complete?
I do not believe that this is possible, looking through the IKC
documentation (and briefly skimming through the code), however I do not
pretend to be an expert, so if I'm wrong, someone should correct me! :P
From what I know, you would have to spawn another IKC server (on one of
your original clients) in order to achieve what you want to do. You
could spawn the server dynamically using information that the clients
pass to each other through the server, which wouldn't be particularly
difficult to implement from what I can tell.
I would write example code, but I'm falling asleep at my keyboard. Sorry!
