| Summary | 0001755: UDP plugin should broadcast HELLOs on LAN to discover peer | ||||
| Description | By listening for HELLOs and periodically broadcasting our own, we should be able to discover other peers in the same LAN. | ||||
| Additional Information | already implemented: configuration stuff creating and closing sockets setting socket in broadcast mode periodic sending task sending a beacon every INTERVAL seconds to do: get HELLO from transport to plugin offer received beacon to transport | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||
|
|
Note: we need to set SO_BROADCAST option for the socket with 'setsockopt'. |
|
|
Note: we don't need to find out the local broadcast adddress; 255.255.255.255 means "limited broadcast" (to be sent on the local link only) these days (RFC 1122). |
|
|
However, 255.255.255.255 does NOT work nicely with multiple interfaces: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/683624/udp-broadcast-on-all-interfaces So even better would be to figure out the broadcast addrs of all interfaces and send a packet to each of them. |
