Written in C++, provides framework so applications use standard C/C++ io streams for communication, regardless of the type of connection.

Ever seen code like this (all over the place):

if (commType == TCPIP) {
    // ...
} else if (commType == SSL) {
    // ...
}

commStream << message; // transmit message
commStream >> reply;   // receive reply.

Application code does not need to change when new communication types are defined, except in one place where the decision is made what kind of comm stream to create. And, since its the same interface for console IO, and file IO, ... it makes it easy to use the keyboard to provide messages, and/or view messages on the console, or create files of test messages, or log communications to files, etc., all without changing anything in the application.

Download provides base class, test app, and implementations for:
