Setting up a relay
A relay listens to an incoming broadcast (either unicast or multicast), and forwards, or relays, that broadcast to one or more destination addresses. The destination addresses may be unicast or multicast. You can set up your server to relay multiple broadcasts at the same time. Sample setup for relaying a live broadcast
Setting up a relay configuration file You set up a relay by creating a relay configuration file and copying it to the /etc directory. The easiest way to create a relay configuration file is to edit the sample file provided with your streaming server software. The path and file name for the sample file is: /etc/streamingrelay.conf A relay source and one or more relay destinations are part of a unit. Information about a relay destination must immediately follow information about a relay source. You may have more than one unit in a configuration file. The following example has one source and two destinations. IMPORTANT: Although the relay_source and relay_destination lines are each split over two lines in the example, each must be on one line in your configuration file. Example relay configuration file: relay_source in_addr=224.98.98.45 relay_destination dest_addr=17.254.98.45 out_addr=17.98.45.45 dest_ports=1980 1982 1984 relay_destination dest_addr=226.91.45.78 out_addr=17.98.45.45 dest_ports=10010 10012 10014 ttl=15 These are the keywords and values that can appear in the relay configuration file.
Turning a relay on or off To turn off a relay, delete or remove the file from the /etc directory. Then stop and restart the Darwin streaming service. To turn on a relay, create or copy a relay configuration file to the /etc directory. Then stop and restart Darwin streaming service. Related topic
