Efficient data transfer from Java to C++ on windows

Question

I\'m looking to stream lots of data (up to ~1 Gbit) from Java to a C++ application (both on the same machine). I\'m currently using a FIFO on Linux but need a Windows soluti

Answer 1

I would use a local socket with negative acknowledgment UDP if the bit rate is going to be too high for TCP (although I would try TCP first and confirm that it is a problem). There should be minimal, if any, packets dropped if you are doing the streaming on the same machine, but the addition of a negative acknowledgement layer will take care of that case for you.
