[OpenCALEA] ANNOUNCE: opencalea-lite

[Manish Karir]

All,

I wanted to drop a quick note to the list to let everyone know that we 
have
just released opencalea-lite.  This is a complete overhaul and rewrite
of the original opencalea software.  It takes a step back and focuses on
stabilizing and improving the basic calea functions of tap, controller 
and
collector.  The re-write is much cleaner even though it preserves the 
original
opencalea architecture.

To use calea-lite, you must first set up a controller. The controller 
is a central
server that can control an unlimited (within reason) number of taps. 
Each tap "belongs"
to a controller. Each instance of the tap program can only "belong" to 
one controller,
but is capable of running many packettaps.
The same physical tap device may run multiple
instances of the tap program, if they wish to be controlled by more 
than one control
server, although care should be taken not to overwhelm the tap machine, 
as the two
tap processes will have no knowledge of each other. Finally, a 
listener/collector must also
be set up. Every tap may have its own listener/collector.

You can download the new code from:

Questions, comments, or bug-reports are all welcome.

thanks
