This package provides a UDP forwarder that will subscribe to a multicast group if told to listen on a multicast address. UDP payloads are copied 1:1 to the destination.
Also included is 'udp_listen' which will listen and properly subscribe to the multicast group when presented a multicast address to listen to.
collectd forwarder: the udpfwd.py can be used to forward collectd (i.e. udp) datagrams from a multicast address to a unicast address. This may be useful if the end destination is inside a Docker container where that is not using host networking. This was the use-case for the code.
