I have to come up with a system architecture.
A few hundred remote devices will be communicating over internet with a central server which will receive data and store it in a database.
I could
- write my own TCP/IP based protocol
- use SOAP
- use AJAX
- use RSS
- anything else?
This is currently seen as one way (telemetry, as opposed to SCADA). Would it make a difference if we make it bi-directional. There are no plans to do so, but Murphy's law makes me wary of a uni-directional solution (on the data plane; I imagine that the control plane is bi-directional in all solutions (?)).
I hope that this is not too subjective. I would like a solution which is quick and easy to implement and for others to support and where the general "communications pipeline" from remote deceives to database server can be re-used as the core of future projects.
I have a strong background in telecomms protocols, in C/C++ and PHP.
