NAME

       supernode - n2n supernode daemon

SYNOPSIS

       supernode -l <port> [-v]

DESCRIPTION

       N2N is a peer-to-peer VPN system. Supernode is a node introduction registry, broadcast conduit and packet
       relay  node  for the n2n system. On startup supernode begins listening on the specified UDP port for node
       registrations, and other packets to route. The supernode can service any number of communities and routes
       packets only between members of the same community. The supernode does not hold the community  encryption
       key and so cannot snoop or inject packets into the community.

       Supernode  can  service  a  number  of  n2n  communities  concurrently.  Traffic  does  not cross between
       communities.

       All logging goes to stdout.

OPTIONS

       -l <port>
              listen on the given UDP port

       -v     use verbose logging

EXAMPLES

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

RESTART

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

EXIT STATUS

       supernode is a daemon and any exit is an error
