How To Install pd-iemnet on Kali Linux

In this tutorial we learn how to install pd-iemnet on Kali Linux. pd-iemnet is Pd library for low-level networking (IEM implementation)

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install pd-iemnet on Kali Linux.

What is `pd-iemnet`

pd-iemnet is:

This is a re-implementation of the original pd-net library by Martin Peach, focussing on reliability and performance.

This library adds Pure Data objects that allow one to build a networking infrastructure within Pd on OSI-Layer 4 (transport layer). The objects use threads to allow for non-blocking network communication within an audio-realtime environment.

[tcpreceive], [tcpsend]: unidirectional communication over TCP/IP
[tcpserver], [tcpclient]: bidirectional communication over TCP/IP
[udpreceive], [udpsend]: unidirectional communication over UDP
[udpclient]: bidirectional communication over UDP

Since these objects only send/receive lists of bytes, you will most likely need to add some glue to implement higher-level protocols (and transmit meaningful data).
