ConsumerSocket/ProducerTransport API: data transport library for ICN

This library is designed to provide a transport layer for applications willing to communicate using an ICN protocol stack. It also provides some useful tools showing how to use the library.

Dependencies

  • libboost-system-dev
  • libparc
  • libccnx-common
  • libccnx-transport-rta
  • long-bow

Build the library

For building the library, from the root folder of the project:

 $ git clone -b libicnet/master https://gerrit.fd.io/r/cicn libicnet
 $ cd libicnet
 $ mkdir build && cd build
 $ cmake ..
 $ make

The library should be compiled with a level of optimization >= 2, in order to achieve better performances. The CMakeFile.txt already specifies a level of optimization of 3. To change it (for debugging) just modify the CMakeFile.txt.

If you do not want to build the tools:

 $ mkdir build && cd build
 $ cmake -D BUILD_TESTS=OFF ..
 $ make

Install the library

For installing the library:

 $ cd build
 $ sudo make install

Platforms

Libicnet has been tested in:

- Ubuntu 16.04 (x86_64)
- Debian Testing
- MacOSX 10.12
