Samplicator NEWS -- history of user-visible changes -*- text -*- Copyright (c) 2000-2005 Simon Leinen Version 1.3.5: Spoofed mode (`-S') now computes UDP checksums. This can be suppressed with `-n' if it causes problems, but in general you should leave it on for better reliability. Patch by Gary Mikula. Version 1.3.4: Added new options contributed by James Sella: `-s' is used to specify an address that the program binds to (default `any'), and `-f' causes the program to fork itself into the background. Version 1.3.3: Fixed an initialization bug that could randomly cause spoofing mode to be enabled even without `-S'. Version 1.3.2: Fixed argument parsing and allow TTL specification. In source address spoofing mode, convert IP header fields to network order for some operating systems that are known to require it. Version 1.3.1: Added patch to make source address spoofing work on BSD-based systems. Version 1.3: Added config file option "-c" which implements samplication to peers depending on the source of the packet. See README for a short description of this feature. Version 1.2.1: Fixed a stupid bug introduced in the last change. This will teach me to always use `gcc -Wall'. Version 1.2: Added `-b' argument to set the size of the socket buffers. The default is now no longer the system default, but 65536. If you experience packet drops, you can try to increase the size of the socket buffers. Version 1.1: Added `spoof' mode (-S). If this is set, the samplicator will conserve the original source address in replicated packets. Note that in order to use this, root privilege is necessary on most systems. This feature has been introduced for the benefit of post-processing software that uses the source address in NetFlow accounting packets. For instance, Fluxoscope and newer Cflowd releases use SNMP to get per-interface configuration data from each NetFlow-sending router. Converted to Automake and added files to comply with GNU coding and documentation standards.
