Is it possible? It would be better if I could have two distinct networks (if I could unplug a network cable on a switch), because udpcast causes hard charge on network. I can't. If I choose port 9000 on A, B, C and D, it will use 9001 port too (am I right?) If I choose port 9002 on E, F, G and H, will it use 9002 and 9003 port or is the 9001 systematcly used?

Yes. Although, depending on your switch, performance might suffer (if the switch is not multicast-aware, and blares both sessions out of all ports) > It would be better if I could have two distinct networks (if I could unplug a > network cable on a switch), because udpcast causes hard charge on network. > I can't. > > If I choose port 9000 on A, B, C and D, it will use 9001 port too (am I > right?) > If I choose port 9002 on E, F, G and H, will it use 9002 and 9003 port or is Yes > the 9001 systematcly used? No, the second port is always the first + 1. The first has to be even, and the second odd. > > Regards.

It seems to be a wonderful program, although I have a couple of problems. question #1 In the changelog page, it is reported that version 20070622 fixed a lzop blocksize issue. Since I always use lzop compression, I guess I should update to this latest version... but I cannot find it anywhere. I always use cast-o-matic to generate a custom ISO, but it generates one with the old 20070602 version. Would it be possible to update cast-o-matic to the latest one or make a ready-made ISO bootable CD image available somewhere? question #2 When I clone many PCs, I always get many retransmissions in full-duplex mode. In the tuning hints page, it is suggested to lowering the slice size with the "--slice-size" option. How can I do that via cast-o-matic? What's the config parameter to change and what do you suggest as a safe value? Thanks very much for your inputs! - AS From alain at knaff.lu Wed Sep 19 15:02:16 2007 From: alain at knaff.lu (Alain Knaff) Date: Wed, 19 Sep 2007 15:02:16 +0200 Subject: [Udpcast] Two questions In-Reply-To: <46F0ECF3.8080704@polito.it> References: <46F0ECF3.8080704@polito.it> Message-ID: <46F11DD8.2060204@knaff.lu> Alessandro Sardo wrote: > Hello, > > I am evaluating UDPcast for cloning a whole LAN.

It was present all along, but I somehow completely forgot to update the pointers in the HTML file...

If not, use half-duplex mode. Older hub-based 10Mbps networks are half-duplex. > How can I do that via cast-o-matic? You can set this using the "Additional Udpcast command-line parameters" setting on the second page of the configurator > What's the config parameter to change and what do you suggest as a safe > value? Try 128, and then increase or decrease as you see fit. > Thanks very much for your inputs! > > - AS Alain From steven at nchc.org.tw Fri Sep 21 16:43:10 2007 From: steven at nchc.org.tw (Steven Shiau) Date: Fri, 21 Sep 2007 22:43:10 +0800 Subject: [Udpcast] Failed to compile udpcast 20070602 with gcc 3.22 Message-ID: <46F3D87E.8000503@nchc.org.tw> Hi, I am having a problem to compile udpcast 20070602 with gcc 3.22.

I don't know but I had this problem on two machines also (AMD K6's). I haven't got around to debugging it myself, but I did some research on google and it might be related to ACPI. Can you try these kernel parameters: acpi=off acpi=on Although this doesn't seem related to udpcast much, it would be nice if udpcast allowed easily using a 2.4 kernel image, since it probably wouldn't exhibit this bug. - Devin
