TCP Listening in C++

Try using the serial port, WPILib has a class SerialPort.cpp, you would just have to modify the Labview code to send the data via serial port (to do this you will need a null modem cable, not a normal serial cable). Writing serial code for the robot in C++ is extremely easy, and the data can send really fast (not comparatively of course, but you can set the baud rate higher if needed), I think I was able to write the serial code in 3 hours.

TCP and UDP will be much harder, especially since I am not even sure if the cRIO has the capability to do that through C++.

VxWorks supplies sockets, see the code for PCVideoServer
