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
