Not working in AWS VPC #4

Hello, it's me again :D

This time I'm trying an all-virtual setup in AWS where I have a VPC with:

IP range 10.0.0.0/16
Network ACL allowing ALL traffic
Default subnet 10.0.0.0/24
2 EC2 instances (running node 4.4.4 on Ubuntu 14.04 server) with a Security Group allowing ALL traffic within 10.0.0.0/16

When I run listeners_broadcast, server_1, and server_3 on both instances, each listener only detects servers on its own instance. The detected host IP (when unspecified, as in server_3) is indeed the 10.0.0.0/32 IP though, not 127.0.0.1.

I must admit I've never done anything with virtual networks :-) Could you give me the service JSONs that you put into the various diont.announceService(service); ?

The exact code in your examples folder. The only change I make is require('../diont') => require('diont')

I know this is long ago... And sorry I didn't manage to help. Did you get it working by any chance?

khuongduybui commented 6 years ago

Nope.

AWS doesn't support multicast or broadcast protocols. Closing this issue.

Thanks for coming back on this! 👍

Too bad AWS doesn't support it. Hope you got what you want using some other method/workaround?
