DC overview

DC (Direct Connect) and ADC (Advanced Direct Connect) are both Communications protocols.

• Official specifications for the DC protocol were never released, but there is a lot of FOSS utilizing the protocol; see here: WP, here: ptokax wiki, or ...
• For the ADC protocol there are official specifications at: http://adc.sourceforge.net/ADC.html
• The Wikipedia maintains an overview over available software for server (called hubs) and clients supporting the DC/ADC protocols

Here you find HowTos to help you install and configure them on OpenWrt:

• dc.opendchub opendchub is a Unix/Linux version of the hub software for the Direct Connect network written in C
• dc.uHub uhub is a high performance peer-to-peer hub for the ADC network written in C published under the GPLv3 with IPv6 support
• PtokaX 0.5.0.1 Установка PtokaX 0.5.0.1 для LEDE (DCBEELINEKZ)

Unless the maintainers provide precompiled binaries (compiled against uCLibC for the Instruction set of your device), you need to crosscompile the sources yourself:

• dc.ptokax http://www.ptokax.org/
• dc.verlihub http://www.verlihub-project.org/doku.php?id=start
• dc.flexhub http://www.flexhub.org/forum/

...

• install opendchub

  opkg update
  opkg install opendchub

• now execute

  opendchub

  and answer the questions. The default port is 411

• to view the options of opendchub execute

  opendchub -h

• edit /root/.opendchub/config and set hub_hostname to the hostname of your router
• to see if everything works well, start opendchub in debug mode:

  opendchub -d

• for normal mode, execute

  opendchub

• Optionally add an entry to your /etc/rc.local to start opendchub when the router boots.
