NAME

6       supernode - n2n supernode daemon
7

SYNOPSIS

9       supernode -l <port> [-v]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       N2N is a peer-to-peer VPN system. Supernode is a node introduction reg‐
13       istry, broadcast conduit and packet relay node for the n2n  system.  On
14       startup  supernode  begins listening on the specified UDP port for node
15       registrations, and other packets to route. The  supernode  can  service
16       any  number  of  communities and routes packets only between members of
17       the same community. The supernode does not hold the  community  encryp‐
18       tion key and so cannot snoop or inject packets into the community.
19
20       Supernode can service a number of n2n communities concurrently. Traffic
21       does not cross between communities.
22
23       All logging goes to stdout.
24

EXAMPLES

34       supernode -l 7654 -v
35              Start supernode listening on UDP port 7654 with verbose output.
36

RESTART

38       When suprenode restarts it  loses  all  registration  information  from
39       associated  edge  nodes.  It  can  take up to five minutes for the edge
40       nodes to re-register and normal traffic flow to resume.
41

EXIT STATUS

43       supernode is a daemon and any exit is an error
