man camserv-relay (Commandes) - program to start a camserv relay host

NAME

camserv-relay - program to start a camserv relay host

SYNOPSIS

camserv-relay <port> <camserv IP> <camservport>

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the camserv-relay command. This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

camserv-relay is a program which relays a camserv video stream for load balancing purposes. This connects as a client to a camserv streaming video server, and then acts as a camserv server, streaming the same data to clients. Useful when the computer doing the streaming has insufficient CPU, I/O, or network bandwidth to stream to the required number of clients. A tree of camserv relays can handle massive loads.

OPTIONS

A summary of options is included below.

<port>

<camserv IP>
The IP address of the camserv server to connect to.
<camserv port>
The port at which the camserv server is running. The camserv-relay will connect to this port at the IP address given by <camserv IP>.
