|    identity |               mac |           ip_v4 |  ifname |  version |  uptime |    seen |

The application is automatically started and listening and broadcasting on all available IPv4 network interfaces. You can restrict the interfaces via config. See MNDP.Options. To use it just add the dependency to your project.

def deps do
  [
    {:mndp, "~> 0.1.0"}
  ]
end

To get the last discovered devices you can use MNDP.Listener.list_discovered/0.

You can decode and encode from and to a binary directly.

Encoding:

iex> MNDP.new!("en0") |> MNDP.encode()
<<...>>

Decoding:

iex> MNDP.decode(binary)
{:ok, %MNDP{}}

Todo / Ideas

• Fix ignored warnings in .dialyzer_ignore.exs
• Sequence numbering
• Answer discovery requests with correct MNDP.Server when received in MNDP.Listener
• Make everything configurable
• Add tests
• Better Logging
• Check licence

Installation

If available in Hex, the package can be installed by adding mndp to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [
    {:mndp, "~> 0.1.0"}
  ]
end

Documentation can be generated with ExDoc and published on HexDocs. Once published, the docs can be found at https://hexdocs.pm/mndp.
