ArcusNode is an offspring of Cumulus, a standalone C++ implementation of the RTMFP Protocol and much more. ArcusNode aims to assist P2P networking with ease of extendability due to Javascript glue.

To use ArcusNode as a service, get it from github and run:

$> git submodule init
$> git submodule update
$> node-waf configure build
$> node service.js

You then should see something like:

Starting up ArcusNode RTMFP Service.

(For usage help type "node service.js -h")
ArcusNode RTMFP Service running at port 1935

1935 is the default port for RTMFP communication.

As you can see in the service.js, it is very easy to use ArcusNode in your own project.

var ArcusNode = require('./lib/arcus_node.js');
var arcusService = new ArcusNode();
arcusService.run();

ArcusNode already takes a settings object in the constructor, through which later on many customization will be possible, like specifying an authentication callback which gets a username/id and password (can also be a session id), so you can do use your own authentication implementation easily.

To reach version 0.1:

• Add command line arguments
• Stabilize the rendezvouz part
• Implement management cycle
• Add user authentication through a callback method, given to ArcusNode as a setting
• Add support for RPCs which can be extended easily with javascript functions
• Add testing scripts and a Flash testing project
• Add AMF0 reading and writing
