I know the long term solution is for the embedded components to speak the
"real" TCP protocol, but Clearpath has invested in rosserial-- we developed
and released last year a high performance C++ implementation of the ROS-side
server node <http://wiki.ros.org/rosserial_server>, which supports both
serial and socket connections. Right now we just use it for the basics of
topic pub/sub and serialization, but the intent is to provide reasonable
support for services, parameters, and logging; that support will be in
place sometime in the next six months, as we need it for an upcoming new
product.
