  International LOFAR stations are powerful radio telescopes, however they are
delivered without the tooling necessary to convert their raw data stream into
standard data formats that can be used by common processing pipelines, or
science-ready data products.
  udpPacketManager is a C and C++ library that was developed with the intent of
providing a faster-than-realtime software package for converting raw data into
arbitrary data formats based on the needs of observers working with the Irish
LOFAR station (I-LOFAR), and stations across Europe. It currently offers an
open-source solution for both offline and online (pre-)processing of telescope
data into a wide variety of formats.
