Abstract

IPCS(Inter Process Communication Service) is a real-time communication middleware designed for warship combat battle systems based on publisher-subscriber communication model. Because IPCS was originally designed to operated under 100 Mbps network environment, increasing network speed into Gigabit environment does not linearly increase the throughput of IPCS. To solve this problem, we anaylized IPCS structure and optimized IPCS into Gigabit-Ethernet environment. We found parameters to improve IPCS based on UDP and Token-ring structure. By improving, IPCS has reliability and higher throughput than TCP although IPCS is based on UDP.
