A typical usage is to run one bridge on a robot and one bridge on a remote host, connecting them via TCP without any DDS traffic crossing network boundaries. The bridge daemon is installed disabled. Enable and start it with: sudo snap start --enable zenoh-bridge-ros2dds.bridge To stop and disable it again: sudo snap stop --disable zenoh-bridge-ros2dds.bridge To run an ad-hoc bridge instance without the daemon: zenoh-bridge-ros2dds [OPTIONS] Configuration is auto-discovered on startup. Place the configuration file in one of these locations: ~/snap/zenoh-bridge-ros2dds/common/ (ad-hoc app only; takes precedence) /var/snap/zenoh-bridge-ros2dds/common/ (daemon and ad-hoc app) Pass -c explicitly to skip auto-discovery.
