eCAL does not rely on real-time at all. The provided samples are simple demo applications designed to demonstrate general usage. The publish/subscribe pattern supports sending messages with or without acknowledgment from the subscriber side. Latency is very low on the same machine (using shared memory transport) and depends on the Ethernet speed for inter-host connections. You can simply use a publisher to send data to one or multiple matching subscribers, regardless of where they are running, without requiring any additional configuration. If you need RPC functionality, you can use the client/server pattern or combine multiple communication patterns to suit your needs.
