ATP

ATP is a message-oriented reliable transport protocol implementation.

Build Status Coverage Status

Overview

  1. ATP provides reliable transportation of data as well as a series of TCP's features.
  2. ATP has a small sized head.
  3. ATP allows time critical data transmission by urgent mechanism and clock drift probing.
  4. ATP allows multiple connections established over the same port.
  5. ATP has a lightweight connecting/disconnecting mechanism. You can "fork" an established connection in ATP without extra 3-way handshake. You will endure shorter TIME_WAIT stage than TCP.
  6. ATP provides a framework as well as a service.

Build

Requirements

  1. C++17 standard(e.g. g++7.2)

Build

Make the project by command

make lib

Run test on demos by command

make run_test

APIs

All APIs are available in /src/atp.h, and is compatible with C89

ATP as a framework(ASAF)

When ATP is used as a framework, it provides with a flexible underlying control. In this case, You must handle incoming UDP packets and maintain a timer outside the ATP framework. You must interact with the ATP context through two APIs:

  1. atp_process_udp When there's an incoming UDP packet, you must inform ATP context to parse the raw UDP packet by calling atp_process_udp, the context will then dispatch the packets to correct ATP sockets.
  2. atp_timer_event You must also maintain a timer, and call atp_timer_event to generate timer signals for the context.

ASAF is not thread safe.

Demos

Most of these demos use healper atp_standalone_ APIs provided in /src/atp_standalone.h. These APIs help you from coding the connect/disconnect procedure yourself.

You can build all following tests by

make demos
  1. sendfile/recvfile

    The demo includes two separated programs: the sender and the receiver. A File will be sent from the sender to the receiver. In this demo, both sides set their UDP Socket to be nonblock, because there will be no multi-threading or multiplexing. You can set loss rate by modifying function simulate_packet_loss_sendto in /src/atp_callback.cpp.

    Build this demo by

     make test TARGET=demo_file
    
  2. send/recv

    This demo is similar to sendfile/recvfile, instead of sending file, send/recv use stdin/stdout now. You can run with argument -s to simulate a ATPPacket by commands with certain format. This demo provides a convenient test method. Build this demo by

     make test TARGET=demo_cmd
    
  3. send_poll

    This demo implements the sendfile's part with poll.

    Build this demo by

     make test TARGET=demo_poll
    
  4. send_aio

    This demo implements the sendfile's part with aio.

    Build this demo by

     make test TARGET=send_aio
