17NTRIP
18-----
19The ntripserver is a HTTP client based on "Networked Transport of
20RTCM via Internet Protocol" (NTRIP). This is an application-level
21protocol streaming Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data
22over the Internet. NTRIP is a generic, stateless protocol based on
23the Hypertext Transfer Protocol HTTP/1.1. The HTTP objects are
24enhanced to GNSS data streams.
25
26NTRIP is designed for disseminating differential correction data
27(e.g in the RTCM-104 format) or other kinds of GNSS streaming data to
28stationary or mobile users over the Internet, allowing simultaneous
29PC, Laptop, PDA, or receiver connections to a broadcasting host. NTRIP
30supports wireless Internet access through Mobile IP Networks like GSM,
31GPRS, EDGE, or UMTS.
32
33NTRIP is implemented in three system software components:
34NTRIP clients, NTRIP servers and NTRIP casters. The NTRIP caster is the
35actual HTTP server program whereas NTRIP client and NTRIP server are
36acting as HTTP clients.

39ntripserver
40-----------
41The program ntripserver is designed to provide real-time data
42from a single NTRIP source running under a Linux operating system.
43
44Basically the ntripserver grabs a GNSS byte stream (Input, Source)
45from either
46
471. a Serial port, or
482. an IP server, or
493. a File, or
504. a SISNeT Data Server, or
515. a UDP server, or
526. an NTRIP Version 1.0 Caster
53
54and forwards that incoming stream to either
55
561. an NTRIP Version 2.0 Caster via TCP/IP (Output, Destination), or
572. an NTRIP Version 2.0 Caster via RTSP/RTP (Output, Destination), or
583. an NTRIP Version 1.0 Caster.
59
60Please note, the options to support NTRIP Version 2.0 are currently still
61under development and should be used with care. Keep in mind that details
62of the NTRIP Version 2.0 transport protocol are still under discussion
63and may be changed.

66Installation
67------------
68To install the program run
69
70- gunzip ntripserver.tgz
71- tar -xf ntripserver.tar
72- make, or
73- make debug (for debugging purposes).
74
75The exacutable will show up as ntripserver.

78Usage
79-----
80The user may call the program with the following options:
81

173NTRIP Caster password and mountpoint
174------------------------------------
175Feeding data streams into the NTRIP system using the ntripserver
176program needs a password (and a user ID for NTRIP Version 2.0)
177and one mountpoint per stream.
178For the NTRIP Broadcasters EUREF-IP or IGS-IP this is currently
179available from http://igs.bkg.bund.de/index_ntrip_prov.htm
