Open5066 0.1

Open5066 is an open source implementation of NATO NC3A STANAG 5066 protocol stack for HF radio communications.

Open5066 aims to implement all of SIS (Annex A), DTS (Annex C), and some of the application layer (Annex F) functionality such as HMTP.

Eventually Open5066 will also implement crypto module and may implement a softmodem for some waveforms such as S-4285 or S-4529, or it may evolve a smooth interface to integrate softmodems from other open source projects. Concrete embodiment of Open5066 is the s5066d daemon.

Project was started in April 2006 and is in very early phase. Major feature enhancements and debugging is going on. Unless you have C debugging skills and are willing to contribute, you propbably should not be trying this program yet. But watch this space, in a month or two we expect to have a system that is usable in limited ways.

Compiling and Installation

At the moment only Linux is supported. We use epoll(4) so porting to other UNIX will require some effort. Solaris 8 with /dev/poll is probably going to be our first port.
