NimbostratusCreate multiple copies of UDP packets
Hello,
Is it possible for an LTM to receive a UDP packet and then send it to multiple destinations?
We have a one-way traffic flow of UDP packets through the bigip, and would like it to take each packet and create multiple copies destined to different nodes.
Thanks,
-Dan

Hi Dan,
Unfortunately, I think the answer is no:

Not really. You can create a clone pool and send it to at least one more member, but that is about it.- The_BhattmanHi Dan,
Sounds similiar to Multicasting used in streaming media. Will the nodes react to the packets where it will want to talk back to the source?

dan_19334Thanks all for the answers, it doesn't sound like it is possible which is the conclusion I was coming to when trying to attempt an iRule for this.
Needed some type of 'release packet/data' command for this to work, ie:
when CLIENT_DATA {
node 1.1.1.1
'release data'
node 1.1.1.2
'release data'
node 1.1.1.3
}
But that's ok, maybe in some future version...- Take a look at the following iApp https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iApp.UDP-Packet-Duplication.ashx
