Duplicate and forward udp traffic

Hi all,

I am looking for a tool that listens on a specific port for incoming
udp traffic and forwards and duplicates this incoming traffic to
***two*** destination hosts/ports. The udp traffic is just one-way
traffic, thus, the traffic flows only in one direction.

Unfortunately, tools such as netcat and netcatv6
(http://www.deepspace6.net/projects/netcat6.html) do not provide this
capability.

Can anybody help?

Thanks, David

you might be able to do something with socat and tee -
http://www.dest-unreach.org/socat/

failing that, use a perl script. Read lines from one input (or std
input using socat) and print lines to two outputs.

Robert,

Thanks for your reply.

I did not know "socat" before and I got to love it in the meantime.

For the records:

I tried to solve my problem with "socat"
(http://www.dest-unreach.org/socat/) and "tpipe"
(http://www.eurogaran.com/downloads/tpipe/) but I did not get it
working reliably.

I then found "flow-fanout"
(http://www.splintered.net/sw/flow-to...low-tools.html) which
does exactly what I was looking for, since I am duplicating NetFlow
traffic.

Now I tried "samplicator"
(http://www.switch.ch/tf-tant/floma/sw/samplicator/) which - after a
quick test - seems to duplicate ***any*** kind of UDP traffic.

Kind regards, David
