Description : a network "tee" program
It can typically transfer data between N nodes at (nearly) the full
bandwidth provided by the switch which connects them. It is handy for
cloning nodes or moving large database files.
Out of curiosity, besides being a bit easier to remember/type,
and not requiring the user to choose a port,
what benefits over combining normal tee and netcat does it have?
for example:
On A: nettee -in IMAGE -next B -v 31 #full logging
On B: nettee -next C >/dev/hda
On C: nettee -next D >/dev/hda
On D: nettee -next E >/dev/hda
On E: nettee -next F >/dev/hda
On F: nettee >/dev/hda
AFAICT, that could be done more or less equivlently as
On A: nc -q0 B 12345 <IMAGE
On B: nc -l 12345 | tee >(nc -q0 C 12345) >/dev/hda
On C: nc -l 12345 | tee >(nc -q0 D 12345) >/dev/hda
On D: nc -l 12345 | tee >(nc -q0 E 12345) >/dev/hda
On E: nc -l 12345 | tee >(nc -q0 F 12345) >/dev/hda
On F: nc -l 12345 >/dev/hda
(Some stdout redirections to /dev/null could be added, so stdin on the
reciving does not come out as stdout on the sending end.)
