this repo has been moved to my other account which is dedicated to C++ architecture: https://github.com/buildingcpp/network

network [WIP] - a simple, easy to use async network library using work contracts

lots of logging, documentation and error handling to be added

notes on the multicast example

The multicast example relies on the ip address 239.0.0.1. It will not work without it. If you want to run this example check for the 239.0.0.1 using ip address to list all interfaces and ip addresses.

Example:

~$ ip address
<SNIP>
3: wlp5s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 192.168.1.161/24 brd 192.168.1.255 scope global dynamic noprefixroute wlp5s0
       valid_lft 84299sec preferred_lft 84299sec
</SNIP>

To add 239.0.0.1: (in my case to interface wlp5s0)

~$ sudo ip addr add 239.0.0.1/32 dev wlp5s0 

Verify that 239.0.0.1 now exits:

$ ip address
<SNIP>
3: wlp5s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 192.168.1.161/24 brd 192.168.1.255 scope global dynamic noprefixroute wlp5s0
       valid_lft 84116sec preferred_lft 84116sec
    inet 239.0.0.1/32 scope global wlp5s0           <----- ip was added
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
</SNIP>

The multicast demo should now (hopefully) function correctly.

To remove 239.0.0.1: (in my case from interface wlp5s0)

~$ sudo ip addr del 239.0.0.1/32 dev wlp5s0
