Introduction

What is pd-iemnet
pd-iemnet is:
This is a re-implementation of the original pd-net library by Martin Peach, focussing on reliability and performance.
This library adds Pure Data objects that allow one to build a networking infrastructure within Pd on OSI-Layer 4 (transport layer). The objects use threads to allow for non-blocking network communication within an audio-realtime environment.
- [tcpreceive], [tcpsend]: unidirectional communication over TCP/IP
- [tcpserver], [tcpclient]: bidirectional communication over TCP/IP
- [udpreceive], [udpsend]: unidirectional communication over UDP
- [udpclient]: bidirectional communication over UDP
Since these objects only send/receive lists of bytes, you will most likely need to add some glue to implement higher-level protocols (and transmit meaningful data).
