As the BulkDataNT version is based in the proprietary software, is not part of the ACS distributed to the community and as such it's not a candidate for most users of ACS. The old implementation based on TAO A/V, has not been maintained in the later years and even when used in production, it had robustness problem that where never fixed.

Discussion
- How important is bulk data transfer in the ACS community?
- TAO A/V BulkData Limitations
- Lack of maintenance
- Long Standing Bug
- No Multicast
- Only Implemented for Components (No standalone clients)
- RTI DDS Limitations
- Licensing Costs
- Complex Tuning (Though very flexible)
- ZeroMQ Implementation by CTA/UTFSM Agreement
- Other ideas or topics?
Summary and Action Items
- ACS should provide a Bulk Data mechanism out of the box.
- Clear benefit. All the community on the same page, solving problems and sharing solutions for a common mechanism.
- Heads-up on technology obsolescence for DDS. Could be an issue at some point. ZeroMQ are have good traction in the industry. Worth the effort to push forward with it.
- Igor will try to contact Mauricio Araya to find out status of ZeroMQ BulkData Integration. Hopefully a meeting can be arranged during this workshop.
- BulkData lack of Documentation. Setup one stop place to retrieve the docs.
- LLAMA has tested OpenDDS for BulkData TX . Integration issues with component/container model of ACS. Expected to be solved with version 3.14. Did Test with RTPS.
- The use case for BulkData in CTA involves one-to-one mode only.
