Readme
A streaming UDP module with broadcast, multicast and unicast options.
npm install datagram-stream
var udp = require('datagram-stream');
var stream = udp({
address : '0.0.0.0' //address to bind to
, multicast : '239.5.5.5' //multicast ip address to send to and listen on
, port : 5555 //udp port to send to
, bindingPort : 5556 //udp port to listen on. Default: port
, reuseAddr : true //boolean: allow multiple processes to bind to the
// same address and port. Default: true
, loopback : true //boolean: whether or not to receive sent datagrams
// on the loopback device. Only applies to
// multicast. Default: false
});
//pipe whatever is received to stdout
stream.pipe(process.stdout);
//pipe whatever is received on stdin over udp
process.stdin.pipe(stream);
var udp = require('datagram-stream');
var stream = udp({
address : '0.0.0.0' //address to bind to
, broadcast : '255.255.255.255' //broadcast ip address to send to
, port : 5555 //udp port to send to
, bindingPort : 5556 //udp port to listen on. Default: port
, reuseAddr : true //boolean: allow multiple processes to bind to the
// same address and port. Default: true
});
//pipe whatever is received to stdout
stream.pipe(process.stdout);
//pipe whatever is received on stdin over udp
process.stdin.pipe(stream);
var udp = require('datagram-stream');
var stream = udp({
address : '0.0.0.0' //address to bind to
, unicast : '127.0.0.1' //unicast ip address to send to
, port : 5555 //udp port to send to
, bindingPort : 5556 //udp port to listen on. Default: port
, reuseAddr : true //boolean: allow multiple processes to bind to the
// same address and port. Default: true
});
//pipe whatever is received to stdout
stream.pipe(process.stdout);
//pipe whatever is received on stdin over udp
process.stdin.pipe(stream);
I used @dominictarr's broadcast-stream as a guide for how to implement the stream.
