[p2p-hackers] amicima's MFP - source code released

[Matthew Kaufman]

We are very pleased to announce that we got it done by month-end... The
first public release of amicima's MFP protocol implementation is now
available for download at the amicima web site. This release builds and has
been tested on Linux (Debian 3.1), FreeBSD (5.2.1), Mac OS X (10.4), Windows
XP (XP SP2 w/Visual Studio.NET).

The amicima MFP implementation is licensed under the GPL, with an available
commercial license for developers of proprietary applications.

In case you downloaded an earlier MObj release, you will need to update to
the latest release of MObj (20050728), available on our downloads page
before building MFP.

In the next few days we will be publishing the MFPNet API header files and
expect to release the MFPNet implementation by the end of August 2005. The
MFPNet layer provides an API that allows MFP flows to be initiated to named
endpoints without application knowledge of that endpoint's current location
or IP address, automatically traversing NAT and firewall devices without
application intervention. For the developer, this provides a simple
interface to seamless, reconfiguration-free operation in all network
environments, even when providing peer-to-peer services from behind NAT or
firewall devices.

After MFPNet is released, we plan to release the source code to a demo
peer-to-peer VOIP + file transfer application for Windows which uses MFP and
MFPNet.
