IEEE 1278.2-2015

This standard establishes the requirements for the communication services to be used in a DIS simulation. This standard supports IEEE Std 1278.1.

The purpose of this standard is to establish requirements for communication subsystems that support DIS applications. This standard provides service requirements and associated profiles that can be individually selected to meet specific DIS system operational requirements.

Revision Standard - Active. Communication services to support information exchange between simulation applications participating in the distributed interactive simulation (DIS) environment are defined. These communication services describe a connectionless information transfer that supports real-time, as well as non-real-time, exchange. Several communication profiles specifying communication services are provided.
