Using UDPcast in a C program directly as a function
by cyber work 18 Jul '21

18 Jul '21

Dear sir, I would like to start by thanking you for your work on udpcast as it has been very useful for a lot of people and companies. I am reaching out in order to get some insight on how to use udpcast (sender & receiver) directly in C code without executing it from a bash call. To be clear, I would like to know if there is some kind of documentation on how to use these programs in C as functions that I could call. So far, every program that I have seen uses udp-sender and udp-receiver by a bash call inside a C or python code. This does not suit me because it slows significantly the speed of the program. Thanks a lot

option --nokbd doesn't send data
by Luke Robison 14 Jul '21

14 Jul '21

I am trying to push data through a one-way pipe in an automated way using udp-sender and udp-receiver. I have a working example, but can't get the --nokbd option to work on the sending side. Working Sender: yes | ~/udp-sender --async --fec 8x6/64 --max-bitrate 500M -f tmp_send_tarball.tar Receiver Command: ~/udp-receiver --pipe ~/rx_hook.sh --nokbd But notice I have to pipe the "yes" command into udp-sender to trigger the start from udp-sender. When instead I use --nokbd on the receiver, it hangs waiting for something after the control message. True to the documentation, it doesn't ask nor accept input, but it seems to fall into a default of "don't send" rather than a default of "send immediately" as I would expect. $ ~/udp-sender --async --fec 8x6/64 --max-bitrate 500M -f .tmp_send_tarball.tar --nokbd stripes=8 redund=6 stripesize=64 Udp-sender 20200328 Using mcast address 234.14.136.217 UDP sender for .tmp_send_tarball.tar at 10.14.136.217 on eno3 Broadcasting control to 10.14.143.255 <hangs here...> Am I missing something? Respectfully, Luke

Two or more clients drops bandwith by 2 orders of magnitude
by Brent Kimberley 07 Jul '21

William Please ensure you are using UDP/IGMP. Brent Hi, (I hope this list is still active) I am a newbie. I am testing multicast support on three computers connected through a gigabit switch. When only the server, ran as (rand.bin is a 1Gb file) udp-sender --interface eth1 --file rand.bin and ONE client udp-receiver --file rand.bin are connected, the bandwidth is around 937.32 Mbps, which is very good. But with two or more clients if consistently drops to 11 Mbps I would expect to bandwidth to decrease as 1/N, where N is the number of clients. What am I missing? I am using a dumb switch.

Udpcast 20200328 released
by Alain Knaff 05 Apr '20

05 Apr '20

Hello all, Udpcast 20200328 is released. The most important changes are: - Use newest busybox (1.31.1) and kernel (5.0.21) - Udp-sender now returns a non-zero exit status if a timeout expires at start - Fix compiler warnings and various typoes - Fixes for Mingw - Fix issues in assembly in fec.c Unfortunately, due to bigger sizes produced by today's kernels, and due to lack of usage, I dropped floppy support. Similarly, Etherboot support has been dropped. Indeed PXE is the recommended net boot solution today. Regards, Alain

[inline assembly compliance] Issues and patches
by FRÉDÉRIC RECOULES 05 Apr '20

05 Apr '20

Dear developpers, we are academic researchers working in automated program analysis. We are currently interested in checking compliance of inline asm chunks as found in C programs. While benchmarking our tool and technique, we found 2 significant compliance issues in UDPCAST. We report them to you, as well as adequate patches with explanations. * All these bugs are related to compliance between the block of asm and its surrounding "contract" (in gcc-style notation). They are akin to undefined or implementation-defined behaviours in C: they currently do not manifest themselves in your program, but at some point in time with compiler optimizations becoming more and more aggressive or changes in undocumented compiler choices regarding asm chunks, they can suddenly trigger a (hard-to-find) bug. * The typical problems come from the compiler missing dataflow information and performing undue optimizations on this wrong basis, or the compiler allocating an already used register. Actually, we demonstrate "in lab" problems with all these categories of bugs in case of inlining (especially with LTO enabler) or code refactoring. * Some of those issues may seems benign or irrealistic but it cost nothing to patch so, why not do it? We would be very interested to hear your opinion on these matters. Are you interested in such errors and patches? Also, besides the patches, we are currently working on a code analyzer prototype designed to check asm compliance and to propose patches when the chunk is not compliant. This is still work in progress and we are finalizing it. The errors and patches I reported to you came from my prototype. In case such a prototype would be made available, would you consider using it? Best regards Frédéric Recoules

Problème de Clonage avec UDPCast
by Tuy Vannapha 31 Aug '16

31 Aug '16

Bonjour, Je suis Vannapha, chargé de projet à l'Antenne AUF de Vientiane, je me permet de vous contacter pour m'aider à résoudre mon problème. Je voudrais faire le clonage d'un portable DELL core i5 (sous exploitation Ubuntu 16) sur un ordinateur All in One Dell Core i3 via swhitch en utilisant UDP Cast, mais le problème est que le moment où il faut choisir la la langue, le clavier ne marche plus, même j'ai changé le nouveau clavier. J'ai l'impression que UDP Cast ne connaît pas surtout les pilotes des ordinateurs récents, est-ce que vous avez le moyen de mettre à jour UDP Cast ? La version UDP Cast que j'ai utilisé est daté en 2009. Merci de votre aide. Bien cordialement, -- Vannapha BOUPHAPANYA Chargé de projet Antenne AUF de Vientiane Faculté d'Ingénierie Bâtiment R1 - Campus de Sokpaluang, Université Nationale du Laos BP: 7451 - Vientiane - RDP Lao Tél : (856-021) 31 46 99 Mobile:(856-020) 28 03 51 93 - 020 77 71 31 30 E-mail : vannapha.bouphapanya(a)auf.org ******************************************************* Adoptez l'éco-attitude.
