Hi,
How would I go about running the server on its own? The binary that comes with the AGConnector package complains about being run incorrectly but doesn't give any useful information. I'm having trouble finding a UMTP server that I can run on a central machine. I'm modifying the AGConnector python script to have this machine as the default, so people should be able to run it without configuring a new server.

Hi Tom,
I tried playing with AGConnector, does it have to go to just your server there? Is it possible to run a server on a local machine and have other clients connect to it? Like the local bridge, but simpler?
The default server is the one here at ANL (umtp.mcs.anl.gov). AGConnector does allow you to specify which server to use, so yes: if you have a UMTP server running, you can specify it in AGConnector and it will be used instead. In fact, in the future I'd like to see umtp servers proliferate and be discoverable.
I also
have a question about how it works too, in trying to test it on two machines that are on a LAN (and so have full visibility of each other wrt multicast) I didn't notice any difference - should I? ..
UMTP is a solution for people who have no multicast, and it actually shuts down if it receives a packet from itself over multicast (see the ietf UMTP draft).
I'm trying
to test it so I know what I'm doing with it to help a remote site with their AG connection. Actually, I'm wanting it for helping someone at Argonne / University of Chicago combat the draconian firewalling :)

I'd recommend that you look at the AGConnector shared app. It does everything over a single, fixed port (8010) to a server here at ANL (umtp.mcs.anl.gov). No port range needed, and coverage for every venue, not just those that people chose to bridge.

Hi -
I'm trying to get the okay to open ports so that I can attend the Town Halls, and any other events on the ANL venue server, so I need some information re: the bridge server IP and ports. Is there a document, or easy way to get the list of bridged ANL venues, and the bridge IP address, as well as the range of ports for the bridge. . .
yup, a continuation of the Security Office's questions.
Thanks -
