-Everytime the timer 'fires', ''eventFunction'' is called on a node (lines 110-125). In this example, the initiator sends a message to every node that has joined up to this point in time. To accomplish this, it iterates through all established links (line 119), builts a message for every link and finally sends the message using the Base Overlay in ''Ariba''. We will now take a short look at how such a message is composed in the ping pong example.

Sending messages is done by passing the message object to ''Ariba'', together with the target link to use. .

+Getting back to ''!PingPong.cpp'': After the initiator has send a message to a joiner, it will arrive and has to be handled. This is accomplished in ''receiveMessage'' (the name says it). Every received message has to be decapsulated by a service, casting the data back to the service's message format (line 132).
