Remotely updating Netburner

[yang]

Hi guys,

Any guys have the experience to remotely update Netburner? I mean not using NNDK.

We have a Data Centre from where we hope we can update Netburner which is sitting behind soem routers somewhere else. My idea is to use AutoUpdate function in Netburner and coding an update server in the Data Centre. They talk to each other through UDP.

Could the idea work? I am checking the souce code of Netburner and take a look how much we can use the current fuctions.

Any idea is very appreciated.

Regards,

Yang,

Just use TCPUpdate. Regardless of how you do this you will need to ensure that the packets can go through your firewalls.

bbracken, Brilliant! It's so fast response. It really makes me feel not alone.

I just checked the souce code. TCPUpdate is there. Great!

In our scenario, Netburner is always sitting behind some modems which could act also as routers or just one simple modem. I am thinking of AutoUpdate, but it is using UDP which is conntionless. It could be some risky for crossing networks.

Since there is TCPUpdate, I will modify my idea as below. How to you think about it?

1, once Netburner start up, he will setup tcp connection with Data Center to register himself for administration issue.
2, Data Centre would monitor Netburner's status, so heartbeat is used between them.
3, In one periodic of hearbeat, Data Centre can conduct the updating through TCPUpdate.

I will check the souce code of TCPUpdate, figure out the details. So happy.
