Tutorial

1. Build

$ git clone git@github.com:pandax381/microps.git
$ cd microps
$ make

2. Prepare Tap device

$ sudo ip tuntap add mode tap user $USER name tap0
$ sudo ip addr add 192.0.2.1/24 dev tap0
$ sudo ip link set tap0 up

It is temporary and will disappear after reboot.

3. Run sample application

$ ./app/tcps.exe 7
11:48:55.884 [I] net_protocol_register: registerd, type=ARP(0x0806) (net.c:223)
11:48:55.884 [I] net_timer_register: registerd: ARP Timer interval={1, 0} (net.c:257)
11:48:55.884 [I] net_protocol_register: registerd, type=IP(0x0800) (net.c:223)
...
11:48:55.884 [D] net_run: running... (net.c:324)
11:48:55.884 [D] tcp_bind: success: addr=0.0.0.0, port=7 (tcp.c:1156)

TCP Echo Server start on port 7. (default address is 192.0.2.2/24)

4. Test (Operate in another terminal)

• Ping

$ ping 192.0.2.2
PING 192.0.2.2 (192.0.2.2) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 192.0.2.2: icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=0.660 ms
64 bytes from 192.0.2.2: icmp_seq=2 ttl=255 time=0.688 ms
64 bytes from 192.0.2.2: icmp_seq=3 ttl=255 time=0.574 ms
...

• TCP communication

$ nc 192.0.2.2 7
foo
foo
bar
