SRT + EFP Client/Server example

This example uses EFP (ElasticFramingProtocol) as a layer between the producer/consumer of data and the transport layer. As network protocol/transport layer SRT (SecureReliableTransport) is used.

A SRT C++ wrapper used by this example. The wrapper is located here.

build

Requires cmake version >= 3.10 and C++17

Linux, MacOS and Windows

(Read below for how to prepare the different systems)

Release:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
cmake --build . --config Release

Debug:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ..
cmake --build . --config Debug

Run the system:

1. Start the server
./cppSRTFramingServer
2. then from the other terminals.
./cppSRTFramingClient

Expected result->

The server prints out information about the data recieved. If the data is broken or not meaning data loss or not in the transport layer. Then as pictured two clients connected and the server prints from what client the data came from.

Preparing Linux

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install tclsh pkg-config cmake libssl-dev build-essential

Preparing MacOS

Prepare your system by installing ->

• Xcode Then start Xcode and let xcode install Command Line Tools or run xcode-select --install from the terminal.

• Homebrew -> [https://brew.sh)

• Then Install dependencies

brew install cmake
brew install openssl
export OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=$(brew --prefix openssl)
export OPENSSL_LIB_DIR=$(brew --prefix openssl)"/lib"
export OPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR=$(brew --prefix openssl)"/include"

Preparing Windows

Prepare your system by installing->

• Visual Studio (Also add the CMake build support if you plan to develop applications)

• chocolatey -> https://chocolatey.org

• Then Install dependencies

choco install openssl
choco install cmake
choco install git
