usocket

usocket is an MIT-licensed sockets networking library providing a portability layer encapsulating implementation specific sockets programming details. More information can be obtained at the usocket project page. The trivial-usocket sub-project adds a migration path from trivial-sockets for current users.

usocket currently supports Armed Bear Lisp, Allegro, clisp, CMUCL, LispWorks, OpenMCL, SBCL, ECL and SCL.

Release 0.3.7 has been released June 28th, 2008. There is active development going on in the subversion repository, such as a trivial-sockets-compat package.

If you want a thin compatibility layer then usocket is the right choice, but if you want the full socket API then you should take a look at iolib.

If you need a portable UDP networking support based on usocket, you may want to see usocket-udp. It's a patch depends on usocket 0.4.x branch (unreleased) or trunk. The author is still waiting for usocket author to merge it.
