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> The port which will serve the camserv relay on the localhost.
<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>.
