network-protocols

Please, tell to me are whether exist UDT protocol backend for boost::asio? UDT is a reliable UDP based application level data transport protocol for distributed data intensive applications over wide area high-speed networks. ( http://udt.sourceforge.net/index.html ) TCP, UDP, and ICMP are supported by Boost.Asio. Other protocols can be implemented by extending the Protocol type requirements . There are several threads on the asio-users mailing list discussing adding support for SCTP, you may be able to use that as an example. This may sound like a shameless plug... But we are currently

Can anyone tell me what is the basic step to generate UDP, TCP and IP Packets. And how can i generate it using Python? as suggested by jokeysmurf you might craft packets with scapy if you you want to send/receive usual packets then you should use socket or socketserver http://docs.python.org/library/socket.html#module-socket http://docs.python.org/library/socketserver.html#module-SocketServer to send TCP to google's port 80 use import socket HOST = 'google.com' # The remote host PORT = 80 # The same port as used by the server s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) s.connect(

Are there any open source, high level tools that would facilitate and simplify development of experimental network protocols (TCP/UDP) using a GUI? Basically, something like a dynamic state machine editor that would allow you to define "packets", "messages", "states", "validators", "handlers" etc. Preferably, such a tool would be comprehensive enough to deal with all relevant aspect of the protocol (i.e. client & server), so that the high level protocol description could be serialized out to an XML/RDF file where it could be used to dynamically create application code to implement the protocol
