User Manual

Global Arguments

-d

Start in debug mode.

-v

Display verbose information about the network operation in process.

Any -D system properties are propagated verbatim to the JVM:

./bin/send -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true ...

Common Arguments

--interface

--interface=<interface-name>|<address>

The network interface name is one of those returned by ip addr, or by ./info. An IP address can also be used.

Example:

--interface=eth0
--interface=172.20.1.11

--address

--port

--local-address

--local-port

Forces the local port.

The network interface name is one of those returned by ip addr.

Payload

send accepts a payload argument.

Usage Examples

Sending/Receiving Multicast on Mac

Listening:

./bin/ntg receive -v -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true --protocol=multicast --address=225.5.5.5:5555

Sending:

./bin/ntg send -v -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true --protocol=multicast --address=225.5.5.5:5555 sometext
