NAME
aisdispatcher - AIS NMEA data forwarding utility

CURRENT VERSION
1.2

SYNOPSIS
1. TCP client input:
aisdispatcher -t -h -p -H ,,... [-x ] [-y ] [-D ] [-v]
2. UDP input:
aisdispatcher -u -h -p -H ,,... [-D ] [-v]
3. Serial input:
aisdispatcher -r -d -s -H ,,... [-D ] [-v]
4. input:
aisdispatcher -i -H ,,... [-D ] [-v]

DESCRIPTION
AIS Dispatcher is an AIS data forwarding utility which provides the following features:

• receives AIS data via UDP stream or TCP connection
• performs CRC check and removes duplicated NMEA messages
• performs downsampling of the NMEA stream
• dispatches UDP NMEA streams to unlimited numeber of destination hosts
  

OPTIONS
