Port Control Protocol

This program is a PCP server. It implements sections of RFC6887 as described below. The program (pcpd) is written to run as a standalone server on any Linux system with the following dependencies:

• libglib2.0
• protobuf-c
• Apteryx (by Allied Telesis Labs): see installation procedure

Apteryx also requires libcunit and headers to be installed.

Implementation

At the current version, pcpd only supports MAP requests without options. All other message types are ignored.

License

pcpd is licensed under the GPLv3 license. See the file COPYING for the full text.

Installation Procedure

• Download and install Apteryx from https://github.com/ATL-NZ/ (requires libglib2.0-dev libcunit1-dev libprotobuf-c0-dev protobuf-c-compiler)
• The pcp Makefiles expect apteryx at ../apteryx so a directory structure like code/apteryx and code/pcp is recommended

In the pcp directory, run

• autoreconf -i
• ./configure && make

Running pcpd

• Start Apteryx: ../apteryx/apteryx
• ./pcpd
• LD_LIBRARY_PATH might have to be adjusted to include the folders api/ and ../apteryx.

Running tests

pcpd comes with an extensive set of unit tests. They can be run using Novaprova.
