Network swarm that automagically discovers other peers on the network using multicast dns
npm install airswarm
var airswarm = require('airswarm')
airswarm('testing', function (sock) {
sock.write('hello world (' + process.pid + ')\n')
sock.pipe(process.stdout)
})
If you run the above program in a couple of processes on the same local network the swarms should start connecting to each other and write hello world
Create a new swarm. The swarm
will emit peer
everytime a new peer
is connected. Optionally you can pass a peer
listener as the second argument.
The peer
will be a tcp stream to another swarm.
Options include
{
limit: maxPeersToConnectTo // defaults to Infinity
}
An array containing all the currently connected peers
