This is a simple class whose purpose is to take a data stream and convert it into packets of a maximum size.
The default packet size is 1000 bytes.
This component was created due to limitations of multicast meaning packets get discarded more easily over a certain size.
Example usage:
Pipeline( ReadFileAdaptor(file_to_stream, readmode="bitrate", bitrate=400000, chunkrate=50), SRM_Sender(), blockise(), # Ensure chunks small enough for multicasting! Multicast_transceiver("0.0.0.0", 0, "224.168.2.9", 1600), ).activate()
This component acts as a simple filter - data is expected on inboxes and packets come out the outbox.
This component does not terminate.
Got a problem with the documentation? Something unclear that could be clearer? Want to help improve it? Constructive criticism is very welcome - especially if you can suggest a better rewording!
