Using TCP/IP instead of multicast UDP

By default, as discussed in System requirements, a Striim cluster uses multicast UDP to discover and add servers. Alternatively, you may configure a cluster manually using TCP/IP. This will have no impact on performance.

To do that, on each server in the cluster, edit striim/conf/startUp.properties and set the following options:

IsTcpIpCluster=true
ServerNodeAddress=<node list>

The ServerNodeAddress value is a comma-separated list of the IP addresses of all servers in the cluster, for example, ServerNodeAddress=192.0.0.1,192.0.0.2.

You must also open port 5701 for TCP on each server.

Then restart the servers, as described in Starting and stopping Striim Platform.
