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  dif-
       ferent ports or local IP	addresses.

       Unlike UDP, TCP is reliable transport protocol that allows exporters to
       detect connection or disconnection of the collector. Therefore, the is-
       sues  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
       automatically.

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	ipfix-
