I am in search of a developer that can take over the completion of some work that adds multicast support to MacTCP 2.0.4. The current code base is all but complete but I haven't had the time to finish the testing of the software. This code depend on the Shared Library Manager and though it is quite small ~300 lines of C++ code it is complicated. The developer I am looking for should have a familiarity with theShared Library Manager, C++, MPW, MDev development (this stuff uses many of the same data structures),and of course TCP/IP and MacTCP. The developer must also have access to an adequate test bed including routers that support IGMP. The developer must also be willing and able to provide the code to the user community as a shareware product and be able to support the software in a reasonable fashion. The implementation of IP multicast implements the full IGMP protocol. It includes two portions one that implements the registration of multicast addresses with the ethernet card and the other that implements the IGMP protocol. The programming interface to this code is through two calls that are registered with the Shared Library Manager. This code uses private interfaces in MacTCP (I added these interfaces with the anticipation of doing this work in my previous job) and as such the code will be licensed without the possibility of making the source freely available. If your are interested in such an opportunity please drop me a line at veizades@ftp.com. John... P.S. The reason that I am not releasing this code myself is that I don't have a test bed to complete the work and that I don't have the time to complete this work.
