raddec-relay-udp

Relay raddecs to and from remote servers over UDP

Relay raddecs to and from remote servers over UDP. Can be used standalone, as described below, or behind a raddec-relay interface to abstract away the details of the transport protocol.

Installation

npm install raddec-relay-udp

Hello raddec-relay-udp!

The following code will configure the relaying of raddecs to the localhost (127.0.0.1) and will create and send a single test raddec.

const RaddecRelayUdp = require('raddec-relay-udp');
const Raddec = require('raddec');

const targets = [ { address: "127.0.0.1" } ];

let relay = new RaddecRelayUdp({ targets: targets });

let raddec = new Raddec({
    transmitterId: "aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff",
    transmitterIdType: Raddec.identifiers.TYPE_EUI48
});

relay.relayRaddec(raddec);  // Relay the raddec as configured

Configuration Examples

raddec-relay-udp supports a variety of configurations for receiving and/or relaying raddecs over UDP, as described in the following examples.

Example: relay raddecs to remote server(s)

const RaddecRelayUdp = require('raddec-relay-udp');

const targets = [
    { address: "12.34.56.78", port: 50001 },
    { address: "98.76.54.32", port: 50001 }
];

let relay = new RaddecRelayUdp({ targets: targets });

let raddec = ...;  // Typically locally decoded radio packets in this case

relay.relayRaddec(raddec);  // Relay the raddec to the remote servers

Example: listen for and handle inbound raddecs

const RaddecRelayUdp = require('raddec-relay-udp');

const sources = [ { address: "0.0.0.0", port: 50001 } ];

let relay = new RaddecRelayUdp({ sources: sources,
                                 raddecHandler: handleRaddec });

function handleRaddec(raddec) {
  // Do something with the received raddec
}

Example: relay raddecs from source(s) to target(s)

const RaddecRelayUdp = require('raddec-relay-udp');

const sources = [ { address: "0.0.0.0", port: 50001 } ];
const targets = [ { address: "12.34.56.78", port: 50001 } ];

let relay = new RaddecRelayUdp({ sources: sources,
                                 targets: targets });

Options

raddec-relay-udp supports the following options:

Property	Default	Description
sources	[]	Array of sources, each an object with address and port properties (default port is 50001)
targets	[]	Array of targets, each an object with address and port properties (default port is 50001)
raddecEncodingOptions	{ includeTimestamp: true, includePackets: true }	Options for encoding raddecs sent to targets
enableForwarding	true	Forward raddecs from sources to targets (if both are present)
raddecHandler	null	Function to call when source raddec received
dnsRefreshMilliseconds	60000	Interval to resolve DNS for target hostnames
