Usage

Overview

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>

<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>.
