Building a Transport Protocol on ARP

• arpchat

  7 2,443 0.0 Rust

  Answering the question nobody asked: what if you wanted to text your friends using only ARP?

The other day I was sick and bored. With nothing better to do, I spent a day building ArpChat, a slightly-cursed chat app entirely running on ARP.

  A Text User Interface library for the Rust programming language

Using Cursive, I built a terminal user interface and implemented a small chat app over ARP. On the second day that I was sick, I did some polishing and implemented a presence system for requesting who's online and gratuitously broadcasting when you connect or disconnect. This is, in an ironic fashion, close to ARP itself— one could run ARP on top of ARP for some true ARPception!
