Announcing Teleport Tool: Backwards-compatible resilience to network outages
- denrober 13y agoThis is really neat. Its extendeding the concept of screen to the network in a transparent way. I am going to play with it with some of my more unstable hosts located in Beijing.
- petar 13y agoA nice way to put it: "extendeding the concept of screen to the network in a transparent way". Thanks.

- jasonmoo 13y agoCurious about the compare/contrast with 0mq.
- petar 13y agoYou could implement something like the Teleport Tool using 0mq or RabbitMA or other such. The difference is that this approach would be: (a) Heavy-weight, because you require a whole deployment of these messaging queues, (b) It is not decentralized: there's the message queue, in the middle; and therefore it is not portable. Where would you put the 0mq if you were trying to teleport from home to work? At home? At work? You don't need to worry about this with the Teleport Tool.
- bcoates 13y agoStupid software freaking out every time the network hiccups has literally wasted hours of my time this week alone. I am so ready for this.
- schwambrania 13y agoLooks a lot like Reliable Sockets http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~zandy/rocks/ http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~zandy/rocks/
- petar 13y agoThe Teleport Tool is similar to Reliable Sockets in purpose. There are some differences as well. It looks like Reliable Sockets are not multi-threaded and they do not include connection pooling, which the Teleport Tool does. It also seems that the Reliable Sockets project has been abandoned.
- evadne 13y agoReminds me of http://www.tenmax.com/teleport/pro/home.htm http://www.tenmax.com/teleport/pro/home.htm.
- petar 13y agoI looked at this link. It seems that the tenmax product is substantially different than the Teleport Tool. There seems to be a superficial similarity in their names.
