15NTRIP
16-----
17The ntripserver is a HTTP client based on "Networked Transport of
18RTCM via Internet Protocol" (NTRIP). This is an application-level
19protocol streaming Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data
20over the Internet.
21NTRIP Version 1.0 is a generic, stateless protocol based on the
22Hypertext Transfer Protocol HTTP/1.1. The HTTP objects are
23enhanced to GNSS data streams.
24
25The primary motivation for NTRIP Version 2.0 is to develop a fully
26HTTP-compatible Internet protocol standard that would work with proxy
27servers and to add an optional data transport via UDP. Hence, one
28NTRIP Version 2.0 transport approach is still based on HTTP1.1 on top
29of TCP. The second NTRIP Version 2.0 transport approach is based on
30both, the Internet Standard Protocol RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol)
31for stream control on top of TCP and the Internet Standard Protocol RTP
32(Real Time Transport Protocol) for data transport on top of
33connectionless UDP.
34
35NTRIP is designed for disseminating differential correction data
36(e.g in the RTCM-104 format) or other kinds of GNSS streaming data to
37stationary or mobile users over the Internet, allowing simultaneous
38PC, Laptop, PDA, or receiver connections to a broadcasting host. NTRIP
39supports wireless Internet access through Mobile IP Networks like GSM,
40GPRS, EDGE, or UMTS.
41
42NTRIP is implemented in three system software components:
43NTRIP clients, NTRIP servers and NTRIP casters. The NTRIP caster is the
44actual HTTP server program whereas NTRIP client and NTRIP server are
45acting as HTTP clients.

48ntripserver
49-----------
50The program ntripserver is designed to provide real-time data
51from a single NTRIP source running under a POSIX operating system.
52
53Basically the ntripserver grabs a GNSS byte stream (Input, Source)
54from either
55
561. a Serial port, or
572. an IP server, or
583. a File, or
594. a SISNeT Data Server, or
605. a UDP server, or
616. an NTRIP Version 1.0 Caster
62
63and forwards that incoming stream to either
64
651. an NTRIP Version 2.0 Caster via TCP/IP (Output, Destination), or
662. an NTRIP Version 2.0 Caster via RTSP/RTP (Output, Destination), or
673. an NTRIP Version 2.0 Caster via plain UDP (Output, Destination), or
684. an NTRIP Version 1.0 Caster.
69
70Please note, the options to support NTRIP Version 2.0 are currently still
71under development and should be used with care. Keep in mind that details
72of the NTRIP Version 2.0 transport protocol are still under discussion
73and may be changed.

76Installation
77------------
78To install the program run
79
80- gunzip ntripserver.tgz
81- tar -xf ntripserver.tar
82- make, or
83- make debug (for debugging purposes).
84
85To compile the source code on a Windows system where a mingw gcc
86compiler is available, you may like to run the following command:
87
88- gcc -Wall -W -O3 -DWINDOWSVERSION ntripserver.c -DNDEBUG
89 -o ntripserver -lwsock32, or
90- mingw32-make, or
91- mingw32-make debug
92
93The exacutable will show up as ntripserver on Linux
94or ntripserver.exe on a Windows system.

195NTRIP Caster password and mountpoint
196------------------------------------
197Feeding data streams into the NTRIP system using the ntripserver
198program needs a password (and a user ID for NTRIP Version 2.0)
199and one mountpoint per stream.
