*eProsima DDS Router* is an end-user software application that enables the connection of distributed DDS networks.

That is, DDS entities such as publishers and subscribers deployed in one geographic location and using a dedicated

local network will be able to communicate with other DDS entities deployed in different geographic areas on their own

dedicated local networks as if they were all on the same network through the use of *eProsima DDS Router*.

This is achieved by deploying a *DDS Router* on an edge device of each local network so that the

*DDS Router* routes DDS traffic from one network to the other through WAN communication.

Furthermore, *DDS Router* is a software designed for various forms of distributed networks,

such as mesh networks in which nodes are deployed in different private local networks that are auto-discovered

without any centralized network node, or cloud-based networks where there is a data processing cloud and

multiple geographically distributed edge devices.

Following are some of the key features of *eProsima DDS Router*:

* **WAN communication over TCP**: it supports WAN over TCP communication to establish DDS communications over the

  Internet.

* **Distributed nature**: the user may deploy intermediate *DDS Router* nodes to discover new entities that enter and

  leave the network dynamically.

* **Efficient data routing**: *DDS Router* avoids data introspection achieving a zero-copy system in data

  forwarding.

* **Easy deployment**: it is based on an easily configurable modular system for users with no knowledge of computer

  networks.

* **Topic allowlisting**: it is possible to configure a *DDS Router* to forward just the user data belonging to a

  topic specified by the user.

* **Dynamic topic discovery**: the user does not need to fully specify over which topics to communicate (i.e. provide

  concrete topic names and types). The discovery of topics matching the allowlisting rules automatically triggers the

  creation of all entities required for communication.
