broadcast-stream
A more obvious dgram broadcast.
broadcast stream has the correct defaults to just work for broadcast on your local network.
Example
broadcast on a port on your local network.
var createStream =var stream =stream
api
stream = createStream (port, loopback=true)
stream on the port
. If loopback
is false, do not output your own messages.
returns a stream.
stream.on('data', msg)
msg
is the message as a buffer,
msg
also has msg.address
and msg.port
set to the address and port that originated the message.
if msg is a message that this stream sent, it will also have msg.loopback = true
.
back-pressure
udp does not have back-pressure, but the stream api does. if the stream is paused, it will just drop messages. if when the stream is resumed, it will emit the latest message.
