Since you say you have multiple masters, you may want to research the various ROS multimaster frameworks that are available.

Hi, thanks. Actually, it is really not a multi-master related issue but only about ROS message data transferring via TCP/IP, UDP or Socket. Server can be ROS or Windows based program. Are there any existing packages or solution over there?

Have you seen roslibjs?

yes, that is a client using java script to receive the ROS data. Any C++ or Python written client sample?
