# Magicportal

Magicportal allows you to forward multicast UDP data from one place to another where multicast is not supported.

Magicportal has to be run on both servers. It uses Gnatsd(https://nats.io) message queue for sending messages between them.

It can be run on two modes:

1. `forwarder`: Has to be run in this mode on the server where data has to be received.

2. `agent`: Has to be run in this mode on the server where multicast isn't supported.

> Note: TLS can be enabled, but currently `Magicportal` doesn't support client certificates. This will be suppported in the future.

## Usage

```bash

$ ./magicportal.bin -h

  --config string   Configuration path (default "config.toml")

```

An example config:

```toml

mode = "agent"

multicast_groups = [

    {multicast_addr = "233.1.2.5:34074", interface = "lo"}

]

max_packet_size = 1024

[nats]

tls = false

nats_url = ["nats://127.0.0.1:4222"]

auth_enabled = false

username = ""

password = ""

[agent]

send_as_unicast = true

[agent.unicast_addrs]

"233.1.2.5:34074" = "127.0.0.1:24113"

```

Magicportal needs a config file which can be in `json` or `toml.` See `config.sample.json` / `config.sample.toml` for example configuration.

We can give multiple multicast groups in the `multicast_groups` array. `send_as_unicast` will tell the agent to send the data as unicast to the address mapped with the multicast group in `unicast_addrs`.
