The guaranteed delivery of all messages in the order sent, is the backbone for the Internet and other networking applications. In time-critical applications, however, this form of reliability hinders performance. In some instances, being able to select different forms of reliability defined by a mix of data delivery attributes is more optimal. To achieve this objective, we will look at the ideals behind the Laminar networking package, which allows a more selective mix of reliability and ordering to be associated with the data. To accomplish this, it defines multiple “channels” between two networked applications.
