i want to make platform in volttron but VIP address is error that is tcp has 6 address so i found that however i can`t find tcp.

plz, how to find the tcp?

jhaack commented 8 years ago

tcp is the ip address of the machine VOLTTRON is deployed on. The tcp: prefix indicates that you'll be using an IP address instead of an ipc address.

tcp stands for transmission control protocol whilest ipc stands for interprocess communication. ipc is used when multiple VOLTTRON instances are deployed on a single server and to communicate between the VOLTTRON process and other agent processes.

to find your tcp address you can use 

# The new way
ip addr

# The old way
ifconfig

Your output will have a 10.0.5.10 format.
