raptorq 1.4.2

RaptorQ (RFC6330)

raptorq

Rust implementation of RaptorQ (RFC6330)

Recovery properties: Reconstruction probability after receiving K + h packets = 1 - 1/256^(h + 1). Where K is the number of packets in the original message, and h is the number of additional packets received. See "RaptorQ Technical Overview" by Qualcomm

Examples

See the examples/ directory for usage.

Public API

Note that the additional classes exported by the benchmarking feature flag are not considered part of this crate's public API. Breaking changes to those classes may occur without warning. The flag is only provided so that internal classes can be used in this crate's benchmarks.

Python bindings

The Python bindings are generated using pyo3. Rust 1.37.0-nightly or higher is required for building pyo3 projects.

$ rustup install nightly
$ rustup override set nightly

Some operating systems require additional packages to be installed.

$ sudo apt install python3-dev

maturin is recommended for building the Python bindings in this crate.

$ pip install maturin
$ maturin build --cargo-extra-args="--features python"

Alternatively, refer to the Building and Distribution section in the pyo3 user guide. Note, you must pass the --cargo-extra-args="--features python" argument to Maturin when building this crate to enable the Python binding features.
