Detailed Description

Horizon Message Transport Controllers
Supported Horizon version(s): 0.1 - 1.0

Todo:

Would be nice to support version translation in IP Servers, however, that would require additional work to detect the version that clients are using which is currently not supported by the current framework.

FIX encryption clearpath.utils
clearpath.horizon.messages
clearpath.horizon.payloads
pySerial [http://pyserial.sourceforge.net/]
-- for Serial

Version:

1.0

USE

The intended purpose of this module is to provide functionality to send and receive Horizon messages over the various transports with minimal knowledge of messages and no knowledge of message payloads. Further, as some transports support a one-to-many connection scheme, this module also provides message routing. Note that as this module implements the transports as defined in the Horizon specification, there is no support for version translation. If version translation is desired, refer to the module clearpath.horizon.forward.
