I cannot understand what is so special about Tibco.
Their marketing material stresses that TCP is a pessimistic transport protocol which does not require client acknowledgement of receipt. How can this be true?
To me Tibco is basically a TCP protocol backed by a queue.
Can someone please help me understand the main selling points of Tibco? I am about to have a rant to my manager telling him we are being completely ripped off here.
The added value is supposed to be the "reliable multicast" and platform-independence. The whole architecture with rvd in the middle of everything is sort of stupid, so in my opinion you are being ripped off, just like us here, and everybody else paying them :)
