NAME

       message_aggregator - Reference example UDP server

SYNOPSIS

       message_aggregator

DESCRIPTION

       message_aggregator does not serve any useful purpose other than to demonstrate the UDP message features
       of WSJT-X. It is a small GUI application that interacts with any running WSJT-X instances.

       Developers writing add on applications may find the source code of message_aggregator contained in the
       WSJT-X code repository useful. The files NetworkMessage.hpp, MessageServer.hpp, MessageClient.hpp and
       their associated implementations along with the application source MessageAggregator.cpp should cover all
       the required areas. All these files can be found at:

       https://sourceforge.net/p/wsjt/wsjt/HEAD/tree/branches/wsjtx/

       message_aggregator may also be used as a multi-cast UDP server which allows multiple instances of
       message_aggregator to be run concurrently, to do this simply use a suitable multi-cast group address in
       message_aggregator and in WSJT-X in the "Settings→Reporting→UDP Server" pane e.g. 239.255.0.1 or ff03::1
       for a local scope group.

       Note that on some systems it may be necessary to add a static multi-cast route to the routing table
       before multi-cast traffic can be routed to sockets on the same host as the sender.
