mini-SAP-server

The mini-SAP-server is only available for Linux and Mac OSX.

12.2.1. Install the mini-SAP-server
Download the latest version of the mini-SAP-server from the streaming download page.

% cd miniSAPserver-version
% ./configure (if version >= 0.2.3)
% make

12.2.2. Configure the mini-SAP-server
Edit the configuration file sap.cfg shipped
with the tarball. It should contain a global section with the Time To
Live (TTL) and the IP version (IPv4 or IPv6) used for the SAP announces
and a section per program announced. Use the comments to understand each
parameter.
The Time To Live option indicates the maximum number of routers
that the SAP announce packets can cross before being dropped.
12.2.3. Run the mini-SAP-server
Start the mini-SAP-server:
If you want to run the mini-SAP-server in the
background, use the -d command line switch. For
instance:
% ./sapserver -d -c sap.cfg
|
You can also omit the -c
command line switch if your config file is /etc/sap.cfg.
