lsipdx is a utility which enables synchronization of data transfer between different processes. It can work as a co-simulation engine. Upon start, the server utility opens a specified number of connections which are each given its own identification name. Then it creates a specified number of hubs for each connection. The client processes connect to the server by using the hostname and port number and specify name of connection which they will use to transfer the data. Each client has to specify its role in the transfer chain - ie. either Sender or Receiver. Once all client processes arrive, lsipdx starts transferring the data.
The library uses libm3l TCP/IP protocol which needs to be installed prior installing lsipdx. Libm3l is available at https://github.com/libm3l/libm3l
In Source directory type ./configure PATH
where PATH is a path to libm3l.so library
then
gmake
To link the shared library use aither
-L/PATHTOLIBM3L/ -lm3l -Wl,-rpath=/PATHTOLIBM3L/ -L/PATHTOLSIPDX/ -llsipdx -Wl,-rpath=/PATHTOLSIPDX/
where PATHTOLIBM3L is a path to location of libm3l.so file and PATHTOLSIPDX is a location to liblsipdx.so
or
link libm3lsipdx.so library which contains all libm3l and lsipdx objects:
-L/PATHTOLSIPDX/ -lm3lsipdx -Wl,-rpath=/PATHTOLSIPDX/
This is preferred if you link to c++ compiled programs
lsipdx has been tested on Linux only. Other systems will likely require modification to the library.
lsipdx depends on the libm3l library which can be found at https://github.com/libm3l/libm3l
