I'd like to configure GPSD to take as input an UDP multicast stream.
I have a background service which sends NMEA frames on UDP multicast, port 5098 (254.0.0.50:5098)
I've tried :
gpsd udp://254.0.0.50:5098 -n -N -D 5
but it's not working.
Here is the result :
gpsd:INFO: launching (Version 3.9)

Do you have an idea where I'm wrong ?
Thanks by advance.

I had exactly the same problem. I was trying to use an UDP multicast coming from 192.168.1.100 port 10110, but using gpsd udp://192.168.1.100:10110 -n -N -D 5 didn't work, neither did listening on localhost.
After much research I found that it works by using
gpsd udp://192.168.1.255 -n -N -D 5
Note that 192.168.1.255 is a non-existent ip on my network. It seems that gpsd is only able to fetch UDP multicast messages from the non-existent .255 node.
254.0.0.50 is not a valid multicast address.
Valid IPv4 multicast addresses are in the range 224.0.0.1 - 239.255.255.255. Addresses in the range 240.0.0.0 - 255.255.255.255 are reserved.

Hello guys i need to resolve this problem (all server have installed centos 7): i'm trying to create a gre tunnel through vps (in Italy - OpenVZ) and a dedicated server (in Germany), but they do not communicate internally (ping and ssh command tests). Next i create a gre tunnel trought vps (in Italy - OpenVZ) and vps (in France - KVM OpenStack) and their communicate, i next i had create a tunnel trought vps (in France - KVM OpenStack) and a dedicated server (in Germany) their communicate. I can not understand why the vps (in Italy - OpenVZ) and the dedicated server (in Germany) do not communicate, ideas on how I can fix (
I also tried with iptables disabled, firewalld is not enable)? Thanks
In other words:
In other attempts (by this i mean that i managed to successfully create the GRE Tunnel between these machines):
The VPS (in France) and VPS (in Italy) communicate internally (ping and ssh command tests)
The VPS (in France) and Dedicated Server (in Germany) communicate internally (ping and ssh command tests)
Problem (by this i mean that i could not successfully create the GRE Tunnel between these machines):
The VPS (in Italy) and Dedicated Server (in Germany) do not communicate internally (ping and ssh command tests). I also asked hosting services if they had any restrinzione but nothing.
My configuration:
VPS command for tunnel:
echo 'net.ipv4.ip_forward=1' >> /etc/sysctl.conf
iptunnel add gre1 mode gre local VPS_IP remote DEDICATED_SERVER_IP ttl 255
ip addr add 192.168.168.1/30 dev gre1 ip link set gre1 up
Dedicated server command for tunnel:
iptunnel add gre1 mode gre local DEDICATED_SERVER_IP remote VPS_IP ttl 255
ip addr add 192.168.168.2/30 dev gre1
ip link set gre1 up

If ip_forwarding is required for the tunnel to work, you need to do /sbin/sysctl -p
And what does the output of ip tunnel show and ip route show on both the ends
I have a Linux (3.14.36) embedded board acting as a WiFi AP.
The WiFi chipset doesn't support monitoring mode.
My laptop(the client) is connected to this board by WiFi
The WiFi AP is acting as a network bridge to another computer, and doesn't provide an IP adress to the client (the WiFi AP only has the MAC address of the client)
I want to monitor the signal strengh of the connection WiFi AP <-> Client and be able to trigger a "refresh" of the signal strengh value.
Doing : iw dev wlan0 station dump gives me :
Station xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx (on wlan0)
inactive time: 123820 ms // <-- The problem
rx bytes: 10291
rx packets: 60
...
signal: -65 dBm // What I want to refresh
...
I understood that the signal strengh is updated every time there is a network activity. (So, in the example above, it has been refreshed 123s ago).
How can I force a refresh of this value ? (By forcing the AP to send "something" to the client for example) Knowing that the board/WiFi driver/WiFi device doesn't support tools such as iwconfig
For anyone finding this thread now:
I had this issue and my solution was to ping the device before doing the iw dump, e.g.
Get the list of of connected MAC addresses:
iw dev wlan0 station dump | grep 'signal' | awk '{print $2}'
Then get the IP address from these MAC addresses (alternatively you could use arp):
ip neigh | grep 'ma:ca:dd:re:ss:ss' | awk '{print $1}'
Then ping each of those:
ping -c 1 'IP.address'
Then get the refreshed signal for that MAC address
iw dev wlan0 station get 'ma:ca:dd:re:ss:ss' | grep 'signal' | awk '{print $2}'
I wrapped all this up in a Python script and it seemed to give reliable data.
I'll give it a try:
You're embedded so I guess you have busybox. You have no IP but you may then use arping (if this applet is not configured in your busybox build, change the config) to send something small and useless that may wake up the thing. What IP to use for your ARP requests? Well it seems you can use a "dummy" IP.
I'm running this on a PC but I do have busybox with its arping, and I use a wired interface, but here is the concept:
jbm#sumo:~/sandbox/iw$ sudo busybox arping -w 1 -U -I eth0 0.0.0.0
ARPING to 0.0.0.0 from 192.168.1.66 via eth0
Sent 2 probe(s) (2 broadcast(s))
Received 0 reply (0 request(s), 0 broadcast(s))
The useful thing is that though the "dummy" IP, I can check with tcpdump that the arp requests do actually go on the wire (or in the air in your case):
jbm#sumo:~$ sudo tcpdump -i eth0 -v arp
tcpdump: listening on eth0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 262144 bytes
10:42:20.111100 ARP, Ethernet (len 6), IPv4 (len 4), Request who-has 0.0.0.0 (Broadcast) tell sumo, length 28
10:42:21.111206 ARP, Ethernet (len 6), IPv4 (len 4), Request who-has 0.0.0.0 (Broadcast) tell sumo, length 28
^C
2 packets captured
2 packets received by filter
0 packets dropped by kernel
So sending ARP request on your wireless interface may be enough to "wake up" your connection and refresh your RSSI.
EDIT:
See the interesting uses and properties of IP 0.0.0.0 here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/0.0.0.0
EDIT 2:
Re-thinking about it, I realized there will be a problem if your wireless interface does not have an IP itself. Which, if I'm not mistaking, may not necessarily be case in your bridging configuration. In such case, arping will not have a source address to build its request packets (nor will know how to listen for responses), and will fail.
But you can create your own "mini-unidirectional arping", using an AF_PACKET socket and build your own ARP request packet with a dummy/random source IP address. It will be unidirectional because the response to your forged ARP request, if any, would go to to the random source IP which may and preferably should not exist. But it the principle of just awaking your wireless connection by sending "something", that may do the trick.
For inspiration on how to code this "mini-unidirectional arping", have a look at busybox implementation from its udhcpc/udhcpd (it's simpler than the full-blown arping busybox applet):
https://git.busybox.net/busybox/tree/networking/udhcp/arpping.c#n38
The from_ip parameter is what you want to forge. You can use your actual MAC as from_mac, just for the sake of dignity :-) You don't even have to wait for a response (starting line 89), so that would be something like 50 lines of C code + a little main if you want to add a few options to it.
I'm using the net-snmp for gather system information in linux.
but I found there is problem.
when I check port usage of Net-SNMP by netstat, I found net-snmp using 3 UDP port.
Here is the result.
[root# snmp]# netstat -anp | grep snmp
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:199 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 6392/snmpd
udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:49005 0.0.0.0:* 6392/snmpd
udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:161 0.0.0.0:* 6392/snmpd
udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:44837 0.0.0.0:* 6392/snmpd
as you can see, the snmpd using 2 more udp port without 161.
also I found why the 2 udp ports are randomly occupied by snmp.
those ports are using for sending snmp trap.
when I remove the tran2sink and informsink option, the 2 UDP ports are no more appear.
this is my part of configuration of snmpd.conf
###########################################################################
# SECTION: Trap Destinations
#
# Here we define who the agent will send traps to.
# trap2sink: A SNMPv2c trap receiver
# arguments: host [community] [portnum]
trap2sink 192.168.1.4
# informsink: A SNMPv2c inform (acknowledged trap) receiver
# arguments: host [community] [portnum]
informsink 192.168.1.4 NMS_COM
# trapcommunity: Default trap sink community to use
# arguments: community-string
trapcommunity NMS_COM
# authtrapenable: Should we send traps when authentication failures occur
# arguments: 1 | 2 (1 = yes, 2 = no)
authtrapenable 1
my program have to use 40000~50000 udp port.
so I want to use those trap options and change the ports.
how can I fix the ports?
You can try to set port for the directives as below:
trap2sink 1.1.1.1:port_num e.g. trap2sink 1.1.1.1:162
I hope I understood your question and this would help.
These are SNMP Ephemeral ports. Here is a quote from a Microsoft support page on them:
While SNMP service is running it may be noticed via the netstat
Command Line utility that in addition to the well known ports for
sending and receiving SNMP traps (161/162) that a random ephemeral
port has been created by the service as well.
The random port usage is intended behavior and is opened for the
purpose of sending "management" traps
...
This port will remain in
the system while the SNMP service is running, but is not actively used
unless a management trap is to be sent outbound. Since SNMP does not
listen for inbound packets on this random port, this does not present
a security vulnerability.
I installed the mptcp kernel on my machine. I tried to test MPTCP by running iperf -c multipath-tcp.org (both end-ponts are MPTCP CAPABLE).
I tried to test if iperf lists the subflows created. I have an active wifi interface + active wired interface. But still iperf showed only the one with the wired interface:
Client connecting to multipath-tcp.org, TCP port 5001
TCP window size: 45.0 KByte (default)
------------------------------------------------------------
[ 3] local 192.168.42.123 port 52983 connected with 130.104.230.45 port 5001
[ ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth
[ 3] 0.0-22.7 sec 384 KBytes 139 Kbits/sec
THis shouldn't be the case. My wired link was too slow so, even if the flow would have started here, surely subflow would be there in the wifi interface as well.
How could I actually see that MPTCP is in fact creating subflows ?
I saw the question here but my cat proc... file is showing
sl loc_tok rem_tok v6 local_address remote_address st ns tx_queue rx_queue inode
0: B491F32C CDF952DC 0 0B2BA8C0:8E9C 2DE66882:1389 01 02 00000000:00000000 203077
which doesn't relate to any subflows I guess.
Maybe you can check the mptcp setting with sysctl net.mptcp,the path manager should be setted to fullmesh rather than default to establish multiple flows.
sysctl -w net.mptcp.mptcp_path_manager=fullmesh
sysctl -w net.mptcp.mptcp_enabled=1
Further explanation of mptcp setting can be viewed at http://multipath-tcp.org/pmwiki.php/Users/ConfigureMPTCP
As far as i know, these are buffer/queues for UDP in Linux (correct me if im wrong)
UDP Tx : [sendto] UDP socket buffer(getsockopt(SO_SNDBUF)) -> interface socket buf() -> driver ring buffer
UDP_Rx : driver ring buffer -> backlog queue -> [recvfrom] UDP socket buffer(getsockopt(SO_RCVBUF))
I know we can monitor drop/queue:
-socket buffer(UDP) at /proc/net/udp
-interface queue(IP) at /proc/net/dev
Where can i monitor the driver queue/buffer(MAC) for a drop in Linux?
p/s: i wanna see and PROVE what happen to the datagramme in those queues if we cut the connection during UDP transfer over WLAN.
use $tc -s -d qdisc ls dev eth0 for eth0 interface
