NPO Compositor adapted NRTOS 9.0.2
It took more than two years to adapt the Compositor 9 software from Compositor Software into Russian language. NPO Compositor has done a great job of introducing new functions and protocols into Compositor 9. The interface and documentation has been translated into Russian language and consists of chapters on IP switching and routing (2700 pages in total). It allows classifying this software as network real-time operating system (NRTOS). Compositor NRTOS 9.0.2 package consists of the real-time operating system itself with a graphical user interface executed on MaxMSP, Niagara software modem, which is a sample of a real-time moment (into which this sample was recorded) made with MaxMSP also, and an Android application RAD96, which inherited its name from the Compositor 9.0.1 main module (in 9.0.2 a22 assembly an extended version of this code is called VSF – virtual switching framework). All three versions have the same documentation as they access the same functionality. The difference is that RAD96 is an autonomous system and contains many more extensions that have not yet been issued. Compositor NRTOS 9.0.2 comes with 9134 extensions of management information bases, which were issued from the autonomous system RAD96 during the production of documentation. Niagara 32 software modem also contains a dump of this database (9134 routing tables). We also succeeded in classifying such an interface: by the type of execution, it can be considered a switching router, in contrast to the Compositor 7, which is considered a switch.
You can see the Russian language interface of Compositor 9.0.2 build a22 below:
The command language in documentation can be used within amateur radio terminal software such as TrueTTY on Windows and DroidRTTY on Android. This means that you cannot program the NRTOS directly (only via MaxMSP graphic user interface) but you can issue this commands through a teletype operator working in your autonomous system. Such an operator usually is a part of telegraph services still acting to the present moment. It is the only possible way to reprogram an autonomous system.
Seven protocols, implemented by NPO Compositor for version 9.0.2, enable communication in the Ethernet network. At the testing stage Compositor 9.0.1 was used mainly for packet protocols of amateur radio, but now in version 9.0.2 communication is carried out in the Ethernet network using the protocols used for switching and routing in this network. NRTOS includes 6 interior gateway protocols such as RIPv1, RIPv2, OSPF, OSPFv3, RIPng, EIGRP and one exterior gateway protocol for communication between autonomous systems (BGP – uses IPv4 version of the protocol). In addition, external communication is possible through 6-to-4 GRE tunneling.
Compositor 9.0.2 implements stateful and stateless NAT64, it can be used to create L2VPN and L3VPN services by exporting firmware in WAV and AIFF formats. Conversion from IPv4 to IPv6 is done on the fly in the NRTOS and makes it possible to map a single IPv4 address to multiple IPv6 destinations. As you can see from the Compositor 9.0.2 interface, it is a BSR router and is responsible for loading the system. Such a system consists of extensions that allow the server to participate in various workgroups. Compositor 9.0.2 is the installation program for the CP-6137-960FX server, to which this site is dedicated. This server is the only machine capable of generating emissions from the autonomous system RAD96 and this is its main value.
