Is ROS designed for mobility and inter-network roaming?
Hi there,
It seems that the ROS networking setting is quite static. I wonder if the design of ROS taken into account the case where the robots move freely between different networks? The inter-nodes communication would failed right? I'm talking about a distributed ROS system.
Thanks

The nodes create TCP connections to send the messages. So the connection will break if you change the network.

I just wonder if there is any thought on such scenario. Will it be on ROS' development road map (like the ability to re-advertising topic once on a new network) or should we look at other alternatives.
