IPFIXCOL2-TCP-INPUT(7)	       IPFIXcol collector	  IPFIXCOL2-TCP-INPUT(7)

NAME
     ipfixcol2-tcp-input - TCP (input plugin)

DESCRIPTION
     The  plugin receives IPFIX messages over TCP transport protocol from one or
     more exporters and pass them into the collector. Multiple instances of  the
     plugin  can run concurrently.  However, they must listen on different ports
     or local IP addresses.

     Unlike UDP, TCP is reliable transport protocol that allows exporters to de-
     tect connection or disconnection of the collector.  Therefore,  the  issues
     with  templates retransmission and initial period of inability to interpret
     flow records does not apply here.

     Received IPFIX messages may be compressed using LZ4 stream compression. The
     compression is enabled on the exporter and the plugin detects it  automati-
     cally.

EXAMPLE CONFIGURATION
	<input>
	    <name>TCP input</name>
	    <plugin>tcp</plugin>
	    <params>
		<localPort>4739</localPort>
		<localIPAddress></localIPAddress>
	    </params>
	</input>

PARAMETERS
     Mandatory parameters:

     localPort
	    Local port on which the plugin listens. [default: 4739]

     localIPAddress
	    Local  IPv4/IPv6  address  on which the TCP input plugin listens. If
	    the element is left empty, the plugin binds to all available network
	    interfaces. The element can occur multiple times (one IP address per
	    occurrence)  to  manually  select  multiple  interfaces.   [default:
	    empty]

NOTES
     The  LZ4  compression  uses special format that compatible with ipfixproble
