Re: [Xenomai-help] RT Task RPC over a POSIX/Native Queue

How can I do that with rt_net ? Any pointers, any examples ? rt_net documentation 
talks about the hard real-timeliness on the wire.. can I separate rt_net and rt_mac ? 
I don't need real-timeliness on the wire why should I pollute my Network 
with the MAC level ethernet packets sent by rt_mac to guarantee the 
real-timeliness which I don't need ?

You can do that with rtnet.
