udp-broadcast-relay Description

UDP Broadcast Packet Relay for Linux computer who run as a router between two networks and have to forward udp broadcast messages, for example for games. udp-broadcast-relay is a small utility that listens for packets on a specified UDP broadcast port. When a packet is received, it sends that packet to all specified interfaces but the one it came from as though it originated from the original sender.The primary purpose of this is to allow games on machines on separated local networks (Ethernet, WLAN) that use udp broadcasts to find each other to do so.It also works on ppp links, so you can log in from windows boxes (e.g. using pptp) and play LAN-based games together. Currently, you have to care about upcoming or downgoing interfaces yourself.Installation:make ; cp udp-broadcast-relay /some/whereUsage:/some/where/udp-broadcast-relay id udp-port eth0 eth1...udp-broadcast-relay must be run as boot to be able to create a raw socket (necessary) to send packets as though they originated from the original sender.Compatibility:* I run debian woody with Linux 2.4.20, and here it works.Example:/some/where/udp-broadcast-relay -f 1 6112 eth0 eth1 # forward Warcraft 3 broadcast packets
