The support for UMTP bridging that has been developed by Namgon Kim is
making its way into the Access Grid code repository.
The C portion of it is available via Subversion like so:
svn co
https://www.ci.uchicago.edu/svn/accessgrid/trunk/services/network/UMTP UMTP
It can be built in the usual manner:
./configure
make
For now, this includes a modified version of the UCL common library,
with the umtp executable in UMTP/examples/umtp. To test umtp, do this:
On the UMTP server, which should be multicast capable: umtp -s <server
hostname> <port>
(the hostname is specified for selection of the network interface)
On the UMTP client: umtp -m <server hostname> <port> <mcast address>
<mcast port>
at this point, the server should begin exchanging packets for the
specified multicast group with the client.
Please do test this, as it is slated for inclusion in an upcoming AG
release and we would ideally identify/fix bugs early.
Note: At present, the code will fail to build on Windows; that will be
resolved very soon.
