DDSIRTP2 — Clarify GAP usage

  • Key: DDSIRTP2-23
  • Legacy Issue Number: 11051
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Real-Time Innovations ( Mr. Kenneth Brophy)
  • Summary:

    Source:
    Real-Time Innovations, Inc. (Ken Brophy, ken@rti.com)
    Summary:
    Clarify that GAPs should be used only when a sample is not meaningful and not sent in the first place (e.g. filtered out).
    Resolution:
    Clarify GAP usage.

    Revised Text:
    Revise 8.3.7.4.5:

    The RTPS Writer sends the Gap message to the RTPS Reader to communicate that certain sequence numbers are no longer relevant. This is typically caused by the KEEP_LAST setting of the History QoS on the corresponding DDS DataWriter. This is typically caused by Writer-side filtering of the sample (content-filtered topics, time-based filtering). In this scenario, new data-values may replace the old values of the data-objects that were represented by the sequence numbers that appear as irrelevant in the GAP.
