All, We are pleased to announce the public release of our PE-ARP (Port Enabled ARP) software that allows IPv4 address sharing by leveraging ARP and allowing it to include port information in mapping IP addresses to hardware addresses. The various pieces of the software can be found at: http://software.merit.edu/pe-arp/ In particular the various pieces are (not all pieces are necessary for all scenarios, but together they address all scenarios): 1: modifed Linux kernel patch which implements a modified ARP protocol and ARP table 2: modified ISC DHCP server implementation which implements port-range management for PE-ARP hosts 3: libpearp for aiding applications in SRV lookups which are needed to allow servers to operate in the PE-ARP environment 4: OpenWRT implementation that allows PE-ARP functionality to be implemented on a Linksys wireless router (and shows how a single IP address obtained via a DSL/cable modem can be shared by all devices in a home without NAT). Please feel free to download and try the code. Comments, questions, and feedback are welcome. Thanks -manish Manish Karir Network Research and Development Merit Network Inc.
