One of the main challenges for engineers who design distributed systems where hosts interact using a network is building an effective communication protocol. The NI Simple Messaging (STM) Reference Library can enhance the performance, usability, maintainability, and scalability of a distributed system. Unlike raw communications APIs, using formatted packets makes data manipulation more manageable and improves throughput by minimizing the transmission of repetitive data.
