IEEE Std 1278.1-1995 IEEE Standard for Distributed Interactive Simulation—Application Protocols -Description
Abstract: Data
messages, known as protocol data units (PDUs), that are exchanged on a
network between simulation applications are defined. These PDUs are for
interactions that take place within specified domains called protocol
families, which include Entity Information/Interaction, Warfare,
Logistics, Simulation Management, Distributed Emission Regeneration,
and Radio Communications.
Keywords: Data messages, protocol data units (PDUs), Distributed Interactive Simulation, Simulation network
