TAO naming service

My environment: ACE TAO 6.0.5, Ubuntu 11.10 64bit, g++ (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.1-9ubuntu3)

There are two different ways to start NameService:

tao_cosnaming -ORBEndPointiiop://127.0.0.1:12345

tao_cosnaming -m 1

The first method specifies the port used by NameService, the second method let NameService find some port to use. Note: it will use different port if you restart tao_cosnaming by second method. The following command will report which port is used by tao_cosnaming:

onega@6930p:~$ lsof | grep LISTEN | grep tao_cos
tao_cosna 2789      onega    5u     IPv4              29955      0t0     TCP *:47749 (LISTEN)

for the multicast mode, I also observed 10 seconds wait time for some operation:

onega@6930p:~$ tao_cosnaming -m 1

But I didn't observe any delay at home (private wifi network).

for first method, the performance of CORBA is not stable in the public wifi environment. Sometimes it is quite fast, sometimes I observed 5 seconds delay.
