#include <stun/usages/turn.h>

Description

The STUN TURN usage allows for easily creating and parsing STUN Allocate requests and responses used for TURN. The API allows you to create a new allocation or refresh an existing one as well as to parse a response to an allocate or refresh request.

Create a new TURN Allocation request

Parameters

agent

The StunAgent to use to build the request

 

msg

The StunMessage to build

 

buffer

The buffer to use for creating the StunMessage

 

buffer_len

The size of the buffer

 

previous_response

If this is the first request you are sending, set this argument to NULL, if it's a subsequent request you are building, then set this argument to the response you have received. This argument is used for building long term credentials (using the REALM and NONCE attributes) as well as for getting the RESERVATION-TOKEN attribute when you previously requested an allocation which reserved two ports

 

request_ports

Specify how you want to request the allocated port(s). This is only used if the compatibility is set to STUN_USAGE_TURN_COMPATIBILITY_DRAFT9

See StunUsageTurnRequestPorts

 

bandwidth

The bandwidth to request from the server for the allocation. If this value is negative, then no BANDWIDTH attribute is added to the request. This is only used if the compatibility is set to STUN_USAGE_TURN_COMPATIBILITY_DRAFT9

 

lifetime

The lifetime of the allocation to request from the server. If this value is negative, then no LIFETIME attribute is added to the request. This is only used if the compatibility is set to STUN_USAGE_TURN_COMPATIBILITY_DRAFT9

 

username

The username to use in the request

 

username_len

The length of username

 

password

The key to use for building the MESSAGE-INTEGRITY

 

password_len

The length of password

 

compatibility

The compatibility mode to use for building the Allocation request

 

Returns

The length of the message to send
