Descripción

I am attempting to connect two computers over a custom serial link (eventually, currently I am testing with ethernet). The micro-ROS-Agent is very appealing for this task as it exposes the underlying API allowing me to program custom driver code for the custom interfaces provided for the project as described [here](https://micro.ros.org/docs/tutorials/advanced/create_custom_transports/). In this project there will be a remote machine running the majority of the code with the ability to down-link telemetry (and receive commanding) over a host of different serial over-the-air links (one directional bit streams).

I understand that fundamentally the XRCE-DDS protocol is implemented around agent-client interaction so I am not particularly surprised that out of the box two micro-ROS-Agents can not connect to each other. I am wondering how to configure (if at all possible) the micro-ROS-Agent to bridge communication across a custom (serial) link between two ROS2 systems.

My understanding is that back in ROS1 days this was something that could have been achieved through rosserial which has been replaced by micro-ROS.

- Hardware description: two linux machines. Connected via serial communication (ethernet for testing is fine)
- Setup static IPs between the two.
- Launch an instance of micro-ROS-Agent on both with the same port
- Unsurprisingly they do not discover each other...

How can I get one of the micro-ROS-Agents double as a client to initiate communication? Is this possible? I would really like to avoid wrapping the [Micro-CDR](https://github.com/eProsima/Micro-CDR) library directly as I like the tools provided by the agent such as discovery...

Línea de trabajo

Comienza con el tutorial sobre transportes personalizados y los puntos de entrada de micro-ROS-Agent descritos en el issue; después, revisa cómo está estructurada la comunicación entre el agente y el cliente de XRCE-DDS. Determina si un agente puede actuar como cliente o bridge entre dos sistemas ROS 2 y documenta la configuración compatible o la limitación; Micro-CDR se menciona como alternativa.
