The XIA daemons and utilities such as ping and traceroute can provide guidance into how to write networking code for XIA.

Daemons

  • xcache uses streaming sockets to send and received content information. It also manipulates raw XIP packets if caching is enabled.
  • xnameservice uses basic datagram sockets.
  • xrendezvous uses raw Xsockets.
  • xrouted uses datagram sockets. It is also the only XIA application that uses FIDs.

Utilities

  • xping uses raw sockets and the XCMP protocol.
  • xtraceroute uses raw sockets and the XCMP protocol.
