if you want to listen on multiple interfaces and know which interface
a peer is using, then you would have to do something like this:
var net = require("net");
var os = require("os");
function connectionHandler(peer) {
console.log(peer.address());
}
var interfaces = os.getNetworkInterfaces();
for(name in interfaces) {
var interface = interfaces[name];
interface.forEach(function(entry) {
if(entry.family === "IPv4") {
var s = net.createServer(connectionHandler);
s.listen(80, entry.address);
console.log("listening on " + entry.address);
}
});
}
