eprosima Fast DDS is a C++ implementation of the DDS (Data Distribution Service) standard of the OMG (Object Management Group). eProsima Fast DDS implements the RTPS (Real Time Publish Subscribe) protocol, which provides publisher-subscriber communications over unreliable transports such as UDP, as defined and maintained by the Object Management Group (OMG) consortium. RTPS is also the wire interoperability protocol defined for the Data Distribution Service (DDS) standard. eProsima Fast DDS expose an API to access directly the RTPS protocol, giving the user full access to the protocol internals.
Some of the main features of this library are:
- Configurable best-effort and reliable publish-subscribe communication policies for real-time applications.
- Plug and play connectivity so that any new applications are automatically discovered by any other members of the network.
- Modularity and scalability to allow continuous growth with complex and simple devices in the network.
- Configurable network behavior and interchangeable transport layer: Choose the best protocol and system input/output channel combination for each deployment.
- Two API Layers: a high-level Publisher-Subscriber one focused on usability (DDS) and a lower-level Writer-Reader one that provides finer access to the inner workings of the RTPS protocol.
eProsima Fast DDS has been adopted by multiple organizations in many sectors including these important cases:
- Robotics: ROS (Robotic Operating System) as their default middleware for every ROS 2 long term (LTS) releases and most of the non-LTS releases.
- EU R&D: FIWARE Incubated GE.
This project is part of FIWARE. For more information check the FIWARE Catalogue entry for Robotics.

eprosima Fast DDS is a C++ implementation of the DDS (Data Distribution Service) standard of the OMG (Object Management Group). eProsima Fast DDS implements the RTPS (Real Time Publish Subscribe) protocol, which provides publisher-subscriber communications over unreliable transports such as UDP, as defined and maintained by the Object Management Group (OMG) consortium. RTPS is also the wire interoperability protocol defined for the Data Distribution Service (DDS) standard. eProsima Fast DDS expose an API to access directly the RTPS protocol, giving the user full access to the protocol internals.
Some of the main features of this library are:
- Configurable best-effort and reliable publish-subscribe communication policies for real-time applications.
- Plug and play connectivity so that any new applications are automatically discovered by any other members of the network.
- Modularity and scalability to allow continuous growth with complex and simple devices in the network.
- Configurable network behavior and interchangeable transport layer: Choose the best protocol and system input/output channel combination for each deployment.
- Two API Layers: a high-level Publisher-Subscriber one focused on usability (DDS) and a lower-level Writer-Reader one that provides finer access to the inner workings of the RTPS protocol.
eProsima Fast DDS has been adopted by multiple organizations in many sectors including these important cases:
- Robotics: ROS (Robotic Operating System) as their default middleware for every ROS 2 long term (LTS) releases and most of the non-LTS releases.
- EU R&D: FIWARE Incubated GE.
This project is part of FIWARE. For more information check the FIWARE Catalogue entry for Robotics.

eprosima Fast DDS is a C++ implementation of the DDS (Data Distribution Service) standard of the OMG (Object Management Group). eProsima Fast DDS implements the RTPS (Real Time Publish Subscribe) protocol, which provides publisher-subscriber communications over unreliable transports such as UDP, as defined and maintained by the Object Management Group (OMG) consortium. RTPS is also the wire interoperability protocol defined for the Data Distribution Service (DDS) standard. eProsima Fast DDS expose an API to access directly the RTPS protocol, giving the user full access to the protocol internals.
Some of the main features of this library are:
- Configurable best-effort and reliable publish-subscribe communication policies for real-time applications.
- Plug and play connectivity so that any new applications are automatically discovered by any other members of the network.
- Modularity and scalability to allow continuous growth with complex and simple devices in the network.
- Configurable network behavior and interchangeable transport layer: Choose the best protocol and system input/output channel combination for each deployment.
- Two API Layers: a high-level Publisher-Subscriber one focused on usability (DDS) and a lower-level Writer-Reader one that provides finer access to the inner workings of the RTPS protocol.
eProsima Fast DDS has been adopted by multiple organizations in many sectors including these important cases:
- Robotics: ROS (Robotic Operating System) as their default middleware for every ROS 2 long term (LTS) releases and most of the non-LTS releases.
- EU R&D: FIWARE Incubated GE.
This project is part of FIWARE. For more information check the FIWARE Catalogue entry for Robotics.
