Revision history [back]

Depending on how the data you subscribe to is published, you might get some jitter in the order of how your callbacks are called. You should not rely on the order in which your callbacks are called too much, as ROS communication does not provide strict guarantees here. For instance, if you transmit data over WiFi a small message that originally got published after a bigger message might arrive at another node earlier due to packet loss or latency.
