Hi there,<br>
<br>
I am looking into the possibility of using Spread to deliver up to 20
Mbps to around 10 hosts on a LAN running Windows 2000. I have
several questions though. <br>
<br>
1) The environment where spread would be running is somewhat dynamic. I
expect the 10 hosts above will come and go once or twice a day, as well
as experience sometimes very high load. Is there any impact to overall
message delivery performance when hosts become
available/unavailable/highly loaded? Also is there any way to add new
hosts to a spread network without rebooting every spread daemon? <br>
<br>
2) The messages I want to deliver will on occasion exceed 100Kb. Will I have to split them up?<br>
<br>
Additionally, I am having some trouble running spread on my development machines. <br>
<br>
1) Performance is dreadful. Flooder reports 2.48 Mbps on a 100Mbs
Lan. Of course this must be a configuration problem. This is how
my spread.conf looks like:<br>
<br>
<br>
Spread_Segment <a href="http://10.96.18.255:4803">10.96.18.255:4803</a> {<br>
my_host1 <a href="http://10.96.18.30">10.96.18.30</a><br>
my_host2 <a href="http://10.96.18.32">10.96.18.32</a><br>
}<br>
<br>
<br>
2) stpmonitor does not work. It exists immediately with:<br>
<br>
Conf_init: using file: spread.conf<br>
Conf_init: could not get my ip address (my name is x☺5)<br>
Exit caused by Alarm(EXIT)<br>
<br>
<br>
Thank you in advance for any insights,<br>
