Reliable Multicast Library: librmcast

The librmcast is a C library developed under GPL. It is intended to guarantee 
reliable transmission over IP Multicast. We try to develop it in a way that it 
can be used in a large set of applications.

The library runs on GNU/Linux and only require a full functional IP Multicast 
network to work properly.

We provide three simple programs to test the library, a client, a server and a
server with loss simulation. Read INSTALL to learn how to generate them.

You have to run a server first, just type:

  server
  
or

  server_with_loss

and then run the client indicating a range of packets to send, i.e.:

  client 0 100
  
this will send packets from 0 to 99 to the multicast group, so you can look at
the server and check if it receive all packets properly.

Documentation will be available as soon as possible.

See AUTHORS for authors' emails and/or homepages.

Enjoy it.
