mimetic A free/GPL C++ MIME Library

mimetic is a free/GPL Email library (MIME) written in C++ designed to be easy to use and integrate but yet fast and efficient. It is based on the C++ standard library and heavily uses templates so require standard compliant C++ compilers. It has been developed using GCC 3.x and tested on most Unixes. mimetic code include some classes that are not strictly needed but are there just to improve performance. Most classes functionalities and behavior will be clear if you ever studied MIME and its components; if you don’t know anything about Internet messages you’ll probably want to read some RFCs to understand the topic and, therefore, easily use the library whose names, whenever possible, overlap terms adopted in the standard RFC documents. At the very least: RFC 822, RFC 2045 and RFC 2046. A more complete list can be found at the Earl Wood’s MIME page.

SNMP C++ Library, MIB Compiler and SNMP Testing Tools

These are commercial products. The SNMP Builder for C++ has two different packages, supporting Windows 2003/2000/XP operating systems:

• SNMP Builder for Microsoft VC++ v6 and .NET 2003, 2005.

• SNMP Builder for Borland C++ Builder v6 and Studio 2006.

Both SNMP Builder packages include:

• SNMP C++ Class Library v3.3 supporting SNMP v2c and v1.

• Guide and Reference Manual.

• Examples.

The MIB Compiler with a friendly and flexible graphic user interface allows the quick and easy accomplishment of the MIB compilation process. A programmer can determine the correct order of MIBs to compile in a matter of seconds using powerful built-in error processing and file search facilities. The final step of the MIB compilation process is generation of C++ header files with MIB object definitions. The MIB Compiler enables SNMP object references to use symbolic names. This makes programming easier and simplifies the software maintenance and modification process. New, efficient, easy to use and versatile methods have been added to make software development even easier and more pleasant. As with the SNMP Toolkit, the SNMP Builder comes with two very useful SNMP tools:

• An SNMP Sender and

• An SNMP Tracer.

These two GUI utilities provide a much more precise and flexible interface (comparing to MIB browser) assisting in debugging of SNMP software and also in studying how the existing SNMP software works in real life applications. The Tracer utility replaces the need for a very expensive protocol analyzers. It can display both parsed SNMP message fields (SNMP message header, PDU fields and variable binding list details) and raw message data. The trace can be saved and printed. The utility can receive on standard SNMP ports: 161 and 162, and also on non-standard ports. The Sender utility includes a graphic editor enabling the creation of SNMP request messages with precise control of message type, header fields and variable binding list. The utility can send the requests to a specified destination, displaying the details about sent requests and received replies. The sender can send the same request multiple times to a single destination, measuring network performance and the maximum number of requests an agent can process per second. These requests can be saved and then used later on during regression testing. The detailed programming guide and reference manual in Adobe Acrobat format contains hyperlinks which simplify the quick reference look-up and serves as an on-line help. The extensive programming guide illustrates all the aspects, features and pitfalls of using class library objects, methods and properties to achieve maximum performance, reliability and flexibility of the software being developed.

RockSaw – a simple API for performing network I/O with raw sockets in Java

RockSaw is a simple API for performing network I/O with raw sockets in Java. It has been deployed on thousands of computing nodes as part of internal custom enterprise applications. The current version of RockSaw compiles on Linux, Win32 with Cygwin/MinGW/Winsock or Visual C++, Solaris 8/9/10, FreeBSD 5.3, and Darwin. It should compile on other POSIX systems using the GNU tool chain. Configuration of the JNI build via autoconf may be added somewhere down the line. There just are not enough platform-specific cases in the native code to warrant it right now, but the GNU Makefile is accumulating if blocks. The given Ping.java example program requires at least VServ TCP/IP version 0.7.x to compile because it uses the ICMPEchoPacket class. RockSaw is released under the Apache License 2.0.

The ADAPTIVE Communication Environment (ACE) – an object oriented network framework

The ADAPTIVE Communication Environment (ACE) is a freely available, open-source object-oriented framework that implements many core patterns for concurrent communication software. ACE provides a rich set of reusable C++ wrapper facades (pdf document) and framework components that perform common communication software tasks across a range of OS platforms. The communication software tasks provided by ACE include:

ACE is targeted for developers of high-performance and real-time communication services and applications. It simplifies the development of OO network applications and services that utilize interprocess communication, event demultiplexing, explicit dynamic linking, and concurrency. In addition, ACE automates system configuration and reconfiguration by dynamically linking services into applications at run-time and executing these services in one or more processes or threads. ACE continues to improve and its future is bright. ACE is supported commercially by multiple companies using an open-source business model. In addition, many members of the ACE development team are currently working on building The ACE ORB (TAO).
