Hey Ty,

There’s a test attribute “local_address” that will set the local address to use. I don’t think it uses the -B, but it’ll do:

bwctl -s [local_address] -c [remote address]

bwctl -c [local address] -s [remote address]

instead of 

bwctl -c [remote address]

bwctl -s [remote address]

Which should (?) be the same thing, depending on what you're doing I guess.

A side effect of this is that you can have a central regular testing instance do bwctl tests with two remote bwctl endpoints. e.g.

<test>

    local_address      chic-pt1.es.net

    ….

</test>

<test>

    local_address      star-pt1.es.net

    ….

</test>

…

However, that’s somewhat lightly tested at this point :)

Cheers,

Aaron

Hi All,

Is there a way to force bwctl to use ‘-B|—local_address’ in your regular_testing.conf?

Thanks,
