Hi Kim:
The AG 2.1 software includes a BridgeServer that is integrated with the
venue server. BridgeServer.py is the Python implementation of the
bridge server; it communicates with the venue server to get information
about the multicast addresses being used, and launches instances of
QuickBridge to bridge that traffic to unicast.
At this time, the BridgeServer is not available on Windows, because we
haven't completely ported QuickBridge to Windows. When the port is
finished, the BridgeServer will be included in the Windows release.
You can find the design document for the bridge server in the cvs repo
http://fl-cvs.mcs.anl.gov/viewcvs/viewcvs.cgi/AccessGrid/doc/BridgeServerDesign.doc
There's also a section there about deployment, which should help you run
the bridge server. The deployment info will be written up in more
detail soon; I'll send notice to this list when it's available.
If you're interested in the source for BridgeServer.py and QuickBridge,
it's in the cvs repo:
http://fl-cvs.mcs.anl.gov/viewcvs/viewcvs.cgi/AccessGrid/bin/BridgeServer.py
http://fl-cvs.mcs.anl.gov/viewcvs/viewcvs.cgi/AccessGrid/services/network/QuickBridge
If you have any questions, let me know.
