# Shared Memory / UDP Gateway
22

33
This example contains the necessary files to run the RTI Routing Service
4-
example from the "How does Connext help you meet the constraints of the
5-
hospital's IT department?" blogpost. Using RTI DDS Ping as a pub/sub
6-
application and Routing Service you will be able to create a gateway between
7-
a Shared Memory domain and a UDP domain that uses only 3 ports. There is also
8-
a second configuration option using RTI Cloud Discovery Service to use Unicast.
4+
example from the "Breaking through Hospital IT Silos: The Top 3 Challenges
5+
to Overcome" blogpost. Routing Service (RS) will help us interfacing
6+
between the shared memory domain and the UDP domain. Applications local to a
7+
host will communicate with each other over SHMEM. RS will be the gateway for
8+
communication between local and remote applications. For this, RS will create
9+
a SHMEM DP (no UDP ports) and a UDP DP (with the 3 default UDP ports). If
10+
multicast is disabled, it will only open 2 UDP ports.

In this example, you will use RTI DDS Ping as a pub/sub example application.

Along with, Routing Service you will be able to create a gateway between a

Shared Memory domain and a UDP domain that uses only 3 ports. There is also a
15+
second configuration option using RTI Cloud Discovery Service to use Unicast.
