Installation

opam install arp will install this library, once you have installed OCaml (>= 4.08.0) and opam (>= 2.0.0).

Benchmarks require more opam libraries, namely mirage-vnetif mirage-clock-unix mirage-unix. Use dune build --release bench/bench.exe && _build/default/bench/bench.exe to build and run it.
