Description

By default, the nodes use the CAS (Connection Assistance Service) hosted on unstable.tryphon.org:10666. As the connection with the CAS  is a TCP one. The connection can be lost. And there is no mechanism to reconnect the node. It an make troubles for root nodes which are NATed and make them unreachable.

The workaround is simple. Each freecast tracker starts its own CAS on the port 1666. So with the right tcp forward, all the nodes of the network can use this CAS. In the node configuration (freecast-root-node.xml and the public config.xml) the following section must be added:

<node>
  ...

  <connection-assistant>
   <host>@public address of the tracker@</host>
   <port>1666</port>
  </connection-assistant>
</node>

Contact freecast-support@lists.tryphon.org if needed.

Note: the workaround is effective when the tracker and the root node are on the same host or the same local network because the TCP connection is no reason to fall down.
