Re: [ros-users] ros node protocol

Hello,

I'm looking at the slave API here:

http://www.ros.org/wiki/ROS/Slave_API

I have a couple easy questions. First, in pubConnectionData there
is a "connected" field. I am curious about what type that field is,
in terms of XMLRPC types. Second, in requestTopic, if there were a
shared memory protocol, what is the recommended way to figure out
whether this potential subscriber is on the local machine? Would it be
to make a lookupNode() RPC call to the master and comparing the IP
addresses?

thanks,
