hi,
  Its a late respond though still a respond right?

Hello Everyone, My name is sonam wangmo (female) i am currently doing my
masters thesis in Computer science. On VoIP and SIP protocol, I am using
Nocat as my testbed and it has helped me a lot. Just wanted to say hi to
all. and once i get  some solid output i will write more about my work.

At the moment I am disecting Nocat  codes .....dirty/difficult  work ...
hehehe.... and trying to make it work for  UDP protocols.

more later..

Hi Sonam,
I'm curious...why nocat? Is it because of the smallish footprint?

thats one of the main reasons.
I started of with ZoneCD and i just couldn't get it working. Another
important reason is a friend of mine had already worked with Nocat and he
has "thumbs-up" for it.
I wanted RADIUS implementation and Nocat operates smoothly.



The problem with Nocat is:
1. its pretty old isn't it? i mean there is no version update.
2.  Is the mailing list active?
3. I am not perl expert and thats where my struggle is.


Can anyone help me with the code?

Hello,
can anyone here explain what this particular code in package Nocat::Gateway
is doing:

   sub bind_socket{
                               my $self = shift;
                           .....
                              return $self -> {ListenSocket} if $self
->{ListenSocket};
                             ......
                              }

$self  ---- hold the hash value, the object, like 'this' in C++
What i don't understand is the :   -> {ListenSocket}

what does that mean and where is ListenSocket defined.

this must be very simple for some of you guys, can you please help me. i am
stuck  with this code for 2 days now and still no answer.
 hoping to hear soon
sonam

it gets defined on exit from sub bind_socket, i.e.,

...
    my $server = IO::Socket::INET->new(
        Listen      => $self->{ListenQueue},
        Proto       => "tcp",
        Reuse       => 1,
        @address
    );

    $self->log( 0, "Can't bind to port $self->{GatewayPort}: $!.",
        "(Is another gateway already running?)" )
        unless $server;

    $self->log( 8, "Binding listener socket to ", $server->sockhost );

    return( $self->{ListenSocket} = $server );
                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
}

Incidently, ListenQueue is set at 10 in NoCat.pm, and that is about as many connections as a 56MB access point should handle before
it gets clogged.


To quote Carla Schroder, http://www.enterprisenetworkingplanet.com/netos/article.php/3592556

" The purported 54 mbps of 802.11g is mythical; at best you'll get 48, which is nice, but most likely you'll get 20-30, and as nodes
are added it will probably drop all of them to 11 mbps. "

of particular note are two of her references at the end of this article:

 Build A Linux-Based Wireless Access Point, part 2
