Inter connection library with auto discovery on local network
- Add module to detect free, internet opened port instead of listening on 0 (random port)
- Allow to specify IPs to connect to
- Allow to pass certificates to connection
Network swarm that automagically discovers other peers on the network using multicast dns
npm install airswarm
var airswarm = require('airswarm')
airswarm('testing', function (sock) {
sock.write('hello world (' + process.pid + ')\n')
sock.pipe(process.stdout)
})If you run the above program in a couple of processes on the same local network the swarms should start connecting to each other and write hello world
Create a new swarm. The swarm will emit peer everytime a new peer
is connected. Optionally you can pass a peer listener as the second argument.
The peer will be a tcp stream to another swarm.
Options include
{
limit: maxPeersToConnectTo // defaults to Infinity
}An array containing all the currently connected peers
