VR-Link
MAK ONE's HLA & DIS Simulation Networking
VR-Link is the glue that holds Synthetic Environments together
The VR-Link toolkit provides an easy way to network simulators and other virtual reality applications. It uses a protocol independent API that abstracts away specific networking details and provides your software with support for industry standard High Level Architecture (HLA) and the Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) protocols.
Protocol-Independent API
VR-Link saves development dollars by providing a single documented C++ API (with Java and C# bindings) that abstracts away the details of the networking protocols.
One API, Many Protocols
When you write your code to the VR-Link API, your applications become natively compliant with DIS, DIS 7, HLA 1.3, IEEE 1516-2000, and HLA Evolved. For example, most applications that already use VR-Link to support HLA 1.3 can switch to IEEE 1516-2000 or HLA Evolved by merely recompiling.

Key Features
Protocol Compliance
With VR-Link, your apps become natively complaint with your choice of protocol. It’s fast and easy to connect.
Future Proof
Just relink with the VR-Link library matching the new protocol.
Protocol Independence
With VR-Link, you won’t need to re-write code when switching between different protocols.
Extensible
A code-generator is included to make your plugins based on your FOM extensions.
