Scope

An OSS implementation of the IEEE 1722 standard that runs on Linux in userspace

Fit to COVESA

IEEE1722 (AVTP) is a very "automotive" technology to transport or tunnel various data formats in a vehicle. Compared to high level protocols such as SOME-IP or DDS, 1722 is a layer-2 protocol, that emphasises simplicity and performance.  For certain applications it can even be implemented "in hardware" without the need for a microcontroller running a full stack.

Gap

The proposed project will greatly change and extend the scope of an existing project https://github.com/Avnu/libavtp that is not active anymore, and merely focusses on the audio/video ports, but leaves out automotive relevant things such as CAN. The goal.  The goal is t make this transparent by forking form the original repository.
