Current Developement

I am currently working on the new implementation.

It makes use of the gSOAP and the UAPI.wsdl file that is installed with the Windows utility. Simply put, this file is a large XML(SOAP wsdl) file that gives the layout of all functions and interactions within the utility.

Following the gSOAP model and the existing utility's layout, I plan to have separate "server" and "client" sides. The way this would work is to have the client end be the cli or gui makes SOAP(XML) requests to the listening server. In order to fulfill the request, the server makes the appropriate UDP requests to the physical switch. The switch's response then flows back through the server side to the client.
Although this approach would be quite modular, I would like to keep the project as simple as possible for others to understand and use. As I go, I will continuously look for ways to merge the client and server side roles.
