Frequently Asked Questions

Does Orbix support IPv6?

Orbix includes IPv4 and IPv6 dual-stack support. Orbix can be configured to operate in IPv6 only mode, or IPv4 only mode, or dual-stack IPv4 and IPv6 mode. In dual-stack IPv4 and IPv6 mode, Orbix handles requests over IPv4 or IPv6 concurrently.

Does Orbix support Asyncronous Messaging Interfaces?

Orbix implements key Messaging features of the CORBA 3 specification. Asynchronous Messaging Interfaces (AMI) enable clients to make type-safe, asynchronous invocations of normal CORBA operations.

Does Orbix include visual administration and management tools?

Orbix provides enterprise management and administration tools for large-scale, mission-critical systems, enabling devops and application testing, debugging, and fine-tuning. Features include: Performance logging, Enterprise Management System integration, Management customization tools.

Can the Orbix Notification service use multicast?

The notification service supports User Datagram Protocol (UDP) based IP multicast as an alternate plug-in transport layer, thereby reducing the load on network resources and scaling easily to large numbers of receivers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Orbix 3 support IPv6?

Orbix 3 includes IPv4 and IPv6 dual-stack support. Orbix 3 can be configured to operate in IPv6 only mode, or IPv4 only mode, or dual-stack IPv4 and IPv6 mode. In dual-stack IPv4 and IPv6 mode, Orbix 3 handles requests over IPv4 or IPv6 concurrently.

Does Orbix 3 support single-threaded and multi-threaded applications?

Yes. Orbix 3 includes both single-threaded and multi-threaded runtime libraries. The new and improved multi-threading model offers increased performance and allows fine-tuning to tailor the ORB performance to suit specific requirements.

Does Orbix 3 support the Basic Object Adapter (BOA)?

The BOA was defined in the first versions of the CORBA specification. Later versions of the CORBA specification replaced the BOA with the Portable Object Adapter (POA). Orbix 3 supports applications that rely on the Basic Object Adapter.
