About:
Airhook is a reliable data delivery protocol, like
TCP. Unlike TCP, Airhook gracefully handles
intermittent, unreliable, or delayed networks.
Other features include session recovery, queue
control, and delivery status notification.
Airhook is useful for keeping connections running
over bad wireless networks (like CDPD),
intermittent dial-up connections, and any other
network that doesn't work very well. The
implementation includes a TCP proxy (so you can
use HTTP, SSH, etc.) and a protocol library for
applications that want more control (real-time
media delivery, games, etc).

Great Idea
by Pathway - Mar 29th 2002 13:01:20
Wow. I want this. Every free 802.11b network should support this. Is a
Windows version of the protocal in the works? That way this very good idea
can spread faster...

Actually, Airhook is more applicable for WWAN systems like CDPD or GPRS
than for WLAN systems like 802.11b, though of course nothing stops you from
using it. WLANs are pretty good about reliable quick packet delivery,
bandwidth is high, latency is low, and people don't generally use them
while moving (a major cause of WWAN carrier dropouts).
The core Airhook protocol implementation is pure ANSI C and should compile
on any platform. The sample programs and utilites are POSIX-only, but
should not be hard to port.

Are you looking for protocol reference (http://airhook.org/protocol.html),
library documentation (http://airhook.org/library.html), or something else
(what?)?

More Info
by Prashanth M.N. - Apr 4th 2004 11:19:51
Neither Protocol reference nor library docs. I want detailed information on
how to use airhook. How the advantages of airhook over tcp are
demonstrated.
