Reading from socket #19

Closed Johnathon332 closed 3 years ago

Johnathon332 commented 8 years ago

I have netflow traffic pointed to my device and want to listen on a specific port for netflow, does v9pdu support reading from sockets for netflow data and then parsing it? If so how would I go about doing this?

Nope, no support for reading v9pdus from a socket, since all the V9 stuff here is basically a hack for a specific V9 dataset (which I haven't had anything to do with for a few years, hence my inactivity in this repo).

It should be possible to write a quick UDP collector that creates a new PduBuffer from an mbuf initialized with the content of a v9 PDU received from a UDP socket; not having any V9 exporters, though, I couldn't test such a think.

PRs enthusiastically accepted.
