This project is very experimental and it is not ready for a real world scenario use.

In this project, developed in the context of the Communication Networks Engineering course in Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), the proposed challenge was to adapt a working Saratoga protocol implementation to work, not only over the original network stack, but also over AX25, a OSI layer 2 protocol of very popular use over amateur radio communications.

Saratoga transfer protocol - Vallona implementation

This is work in progress on an implementation of the Saratoga data transfer protocol by Charles Smith, owner of Vallona Networks.

This will implement most of version 1 of Saratoga, which is described in: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-wood-tsvwg-saratoga

Further information on Saratoga and its uses is available from: http://saratoga.sourceforge.net/

This implementation is free and without warranty, under a nonrestrictive BSD license, as described in the accompanying License.txt file.

To build this code, you will need to already have installed:

• the SCons build package. SCons requires python.
• gcc and g++ compilers, or similar.
• the ncurses terminal library, or similar.
