Our brand new cross-platform network engine, which is going to be the core of our next upcoming products, has been written in C++. The network engine currently uses and handles both data-link layer packets and TCP/IP packets: ethernet frame, ARP, ICMP, TCP, UDP. It's compiled with gcc 4.x under Linux and Mac OS, and Microsoft Visual Studio 8.0 or 9.0 on Windows.

The core is based on the following technologies:

• boost: most popular and powerful C++ framework/base library, allowing to have cross-platform code, following C++ Standard Committee TR's;
• libpcap/winpcap: the industry-standard tool/library for link-layer network access;
• zlib: standard compression library
• cmake: the cross-platform make
