OCTNET Network Protocol Stack

OCTNET
OCTNET is the Octasic network protocol stack software that provides IETF RTP/RTCP services for the OCT8304 VoIP/AAL2 voice packetization device. It complements the RTP packetization performed by the OCT8304 hardware device by implementing the RTCP control protocol and supporting RTP features that require software interaction (SSRC collision detection, etc). In addition, OCTNET implements protocols required to set up VoP network connections. The protocol stack is developed in ANSI C and makes use of an operating system abstraction layer in order to facilitate porting to different operating systems. With a messaging based interface, the architecture is highly flexible and can speed customer development significantly.
