The major work in this project is to provide a consistent method to share information over the mesh network. Currently, there are three scenarios which need to be supported: | |||
#Unicast | |||
#GroupCast | |||
#Broadcast | |||
D-Bus provides signals and methods: | |||
* Signals are multicast - they are sent to all participants in the shared activity (including the sender). They send data and have no return value. | |||
* Method calls are called on a single participant, and they do have a return value. | |||
