The UDPv6 receiver module reeceives a stream using UDP version 4 across a network. It supports the static and dynamic variants of the BLP, EBLP and MCUF protocols.
The configuration of the UDPv6 receiver module with name
NAME is located in the udp4receivers/NAME
subdirectory.
The file outstream contains the name of the stream to
write the received network stream to.
The protocol to use is configured in the file protocol.
It can contain the string blp, eblp or
mcuf to select the BLP, EBLP or MCUF protocol respectively.
If the file is not present, all protocols are accepted.
The file bind contains the local address to bind to.
It must contain the IP address and the port, i.e. a string
<IP>:<port> (hostnames are not supported).
If the local address should be determined automatically, the file
can contain [::]:0.
The file source contains the source address
as a string <IP>:<port>
(hostnames are not supported).
If the source address file exists, only a stream from the specified
address is accepted.
Otherwise, the stream can be sent from any address.
If both the source address and the protocol are given, dynamic
stream request packets are sent to the source address.
