+
+*eprosima Fast RTPS* is a C++ implementation of the RTPS (Real Time Publish Subscribe) protocol, which provides publisher-subscriber communications over unreliable transports such as UDP, 
+as defined and maintained by the Object Management Group (OMG) consortium. RTPS is also the wire interoperability protocol defined for the Data Distribution
+Service (DDS) standard, again by the OMG. *eProsima Fast RTPS* holds the benefit of being standalone and up-to-date, as most vendor solutions either implement RTPS as a tool to implement 
+DDS or use past versions of the specification.
+
+Some of the main features of this library are:
+
+* Configurable best-effort and reliable publish-subscribe communication policies for real-time
+applications.
+* Plug and play connectivity so that any new applications are automatically discovered by any other
+members of the network.
+* Modularity and scalability to allow continuous growth with complex and simple devices in the
+network.
+* Configurable network behavior and interchangeable transport layer: Choose the best protocol and
+system input/output channel combination for each deployment.
+* Two API Layers: a high-level Publisher-Subscriber one focused on usability and a lower-level Writer-Reader one that provides finer access to the inner workings of the RTPS protocol.
+
+## Installation Guide
+You can get either a binary distribution of *eprosima Fast RTPS* or compile the library yourself from source.
+
+### Installation from binaries
