libgdtp Build Status

libgdtp is a generic data transfer protocol implementation that may be used to build packet-based communication systems for various purposes. It has been successfully employed for building fixed as well as dynamic spectrum access systems. It can be used standalone or paired with a software-defined radio framework or protocol simulator. libgdtp supports multiple flows with possibly different communication requirements, e.g., different levels of reliablity and priorities. libgdtp relies on Protocol Buffers for data serialization.

Features:

  • Reliable and unreliable transfer service
  • Simple stop and wait ARQ
  • Multi-flow support
  • Scheduler (FIFO, priority-based)
  • Wrapper components for Iris and GNU Radio

Getting started:

  1. Install some basic packet dependencies onto your system. E.g., using Ubuntu, invoke the following:

    

    2. 



$ sudo apt-get install build-essential libboost-all-dev git cmake libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler protobuf-c-compiler liblog4cxx10-dev



2. Clone the repo to your machine:

    ```bash
$ git clone https://github.com/andrepuschmann/libgdtp.git libgdtp



    

  1. 

    Create a build directory and build.
    

    

    2. 



$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make
$ make test
$ make install


   
   Note: Building libgdtp for debugging goes like this ..

    ```bash
$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ..
