Syntax

class FDirectLinkModule : public IModuleInterface

Remarks

The DirectLink system enable multiple application to send and receive data over the network. This is a N to N system that can be used to broadcast or consume content. The main components of that systems:

Endpoint (DirectLink::FEndpoint class) Represent a node on the network, capable of discovering other nodes. It is the main interface for that systems.
Source Declared on an Endpoint, a Source is a Named handle that can hold content.
Destination Similar to a Source, it is a named handle declared on an endpoint, capable of receiving content.
Stream (aka. connection) A stream represents a connection between a Source and a Destination. When a stream is established, the content of the source is kept in sync on the Destination.
Snapshot DirectLink works with snapshots. When a Source is snapshotted, the content graph is discovered from the root, and each reached node is serialized. This snapshot is the content that will be streamed to connected destinations.
