A proof-of-concept libnice/gloox-based Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE) test application
This application is supposed to be used as a proof-of-concept example of one of possible ICE implementations for 0 A.D. RTS game (see the related ticket: #2305 UDP Hole Punching / NAT Traversal).
libnice is responsible for ICE logic (candidate gathering, selecting the nominated pair, keeping the connection alive).
gloox is used for signaling.
The application basically works (was tested locally and over network (at revision a367b12)).
Code requires some fixes, cleanup and refactoring.
The application depends on gloox and libnice (which depends on glib).
It was tested with gloox-1.0.13 and libnice-0.1.13.
./gloox_libnice host <hostJid> <hostPassword>
./gloox_libnice join <clientJid> <clientPassword> <hostJid>
Note: hostJid should have a resource (and it should be the same in both application instances.
Example:
./gloox_libnice host host@example.com/gloox password
./gloox_libnice join client@example.com/gloox password host@example.com/gloox
Application can be executed with G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all NICE_DEBUG=all variables to produce debug output.
Also gloox log level can be changed in the source.
gloox is GNU GPLv3, which makes this application restricted to the same license terms (see gpl-3.0.txt).
libnice is dual-licensed Mozilla Public License 1.1 / GNU LGPL 2.1, so doesn't impose additional license restrictions (and doesn't conflict with the gloox license).
