DESCRIPTION

30       This  package is a lightweight alternative to Zeroconf. It utilizes UDP
31       packets to populate a table of services provided  by  each  node  on  a
32       local  network.  Each  participant broadcasts a key/value list in plain
33       UTF-8 which lists what ports are open, and what protocols are  expected
34       on  those  ports.  Developers  are free to add any additional key/value
35       pairs beyond those.
36
37       Using udpcluster.
38
39       For every service you wish to publish invoke:
40
41              cluster::publish echo@[cluster::macid] {port 10000 protocol echo}
42
43
44       To query what services are available on the local network:
45
46
47              set results [cluster::search PATTERN]
48              # And inside that result...
49              echo@LOCALMACID {
50                 port 10000
51                 protocol echo
52              }
53
54
55       To unpublish a service:
56
57
58              cluster::unpublish echo@[cluster::macid]

62
63       This tool was originally known as nns::cluster, but as development pro‐
64       gressed,  it was clear that it wasn't interacting with any of the other
65       facilities in NNS.
