Librecast

Overview

Librecast is a project to provide fast, efficient and scalable communication by leveraging IPv6 multicast.

NB: the database functions have been removed from this branch pending a complete rewrite as part of the next milestone.

Features:

• IPv6 and multicast supported from the outset
• light, fast and simple design
• scalability a design consideration from the outset

There are separate headers and shared libraries for:

• IPv6 Multicast messaging
• local database commands and querying
• remote (multicast) database commands

The library will be extended soon to provide transitional support and tunnelling such that multicast can function as an overlay network until native multicast becomes more widely available.

Comments, questions, suggestions, bug reports, and patches welcome. See CONTRIBUTING.md. We also accept bug reports and patches via email to bugs@librecast.net
