cppsocket-0.8.4-6mdv2009.0.src.rpm

Description:

CPPSocket is a small Classlibrary for C++ that supports a easy usage of
socket-programming for networking-software.
It provides a simple object-oriented interface to the classic C Library
calls. Additionally it provides a simplified abstraction for creating
clients and servers.

With CPPSocket supports the following network protocols:
- TCP (transmission control protocol; needs an established connection
from one host to another)
- UDP (user datagram protocol; packets can be sent without an established
connection)
- IPv4 (internet protocol version 4; uses 32-bit network addresses)

These protocols are what may also be called TCP/IP.

The library provides two layers of abstraction:
- Low-Level
This is a simple oo interface of the classic socket calls.
But it provides some (optional) abstractions for addressing and buffering.
Useful for more experienced programmers, that have already worked with
classic sockets.

- High-Level
This provides somewhat more abstraction and ignores some functionality of
the full blown sockets.
But nevertheless it is quite useful and makes programming of networking
software very easy.
So it's intended to be used by novice programmers or those who don't want
the maximum complexity/flexibility but an easy to use network-interface.
