This packet repeater (currently designed for udp packets) will listen for broadcast packets. When it receives the packets on the incoming interface, it will then re-broadcast them to the outgoing interface. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. Usage Usage: /usr/sbin/bcrelay [options], where options are: [-d] [--daemon] Run as daemon. [-h] [--help] Displays this help message. [-i] [--incoming] Defines from which interface broadcasts will be relayed. [-o] [--outgoing] Defines to which interface broadcasts will be relayed. [-s] [--ipsec] Defines an ipsec tunnel to be relayed to. Since ipsec tunnels terminate on the same interface, we need to define the broadcast address of the other end-point of the tunnel. This is done as ipsec0:x.x.x.255 [-v] [--version] Displays the BCrelay version number. Logs and debugging go to syslog as DAEMON. Interfaces can be specified as regexpressions, ie. ppp[0-9]+ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. Contact All comments, patches, improvements can be mailed to me, or the mailing list. If it makes sense, I will update this package.
