Knowledgebase Simulation: Anaylzing SimConnect and xswiftbus traffic

swift XPlane via P2P 127.0.0.1:45001

• settings

{{ :xswiftbussetting.png?400 |}}

• traffic not connected to network between XPlane/XSwiftBus

{{ :xswiftbustraffic1.png?400 |}}

• you can see that swift sends and XPlane receives and vice versa
• that is about 20kByte traffic in idle mode
• swift/XPlane talk via the loopback adaptor

swift XPlane via session bus

• this starts the DBus daemon
• As you can see swift now talks to the Daemon and the daemon talks to XPlane actually doubling the loopback traffic (no network)

{{ :xswiftbustraffic3.png?400 |}}

• with VATSIM connected I can see something around 40kByte/s

{{ :xswiftbustraffic4.png?400 |}}

• again all loopback traffic

SimConnect via TCP/IP

• swift connecting to P3D via remote TCP/IP simConnect
• traffic during connecting phase of 20 aircraft, ending up with around 1.1 Mbit/s
