  Apache Etch Grandy/Fitzner BMW CarIT GmbH Apache Etch. Feb. 2011 Page 7 Non-functional aspects. Programming language independent: Bindings are currently available for - Java - C# - C - Google Go (alpha version), Javascript (alpha version) Transport independent: - default transport is TCP using a binary encoding - adding new transports is simple - XML available e.g. for C#,JavaScript binding Tooling: - Wireshark support - basic Maven integration - Eclipse plugins are underway Efficiency (measured on a desktop system): - ~ 40.000 asynchronous one-way calls per second - ~ 15.000 blocking two-way calls per second
