NAME
ax25rtd - AX.25 routing daemon
SYNOPSIS
ax25rtd
DESCRIPTION
ax25rtd is a daemon that:
- emulates the ceased "autorouter" of Linux Kernel AX.25
- sets up ARP entries automagically
- may adjust IP routes and encapsulation mode
(although I really do not recomment to use this feature...)
The "autorouter" is not really an autorouter. It just listens to the
AX.25 traffic on your ports and uses this information to setup AX.25
routes. This can be turned on or off by altering the configuration file
/etc/ax25/ax25rtd.conf.
Ax25rtd provides a socket /var/ax25/ax25rtd/control which is used for
runtime maintainance through ax25rtctl or to set up new routes by other
daemons (a Flexnet router, perhaps?)
On startup ax25rtd reads the configuration file and afterwards preloads
the caches from the files /var/ax25/ax25rtd/ax25_routes and
/var/ax25/ax25rtd/ip_routes. On SIGTERM or ax25rtctl --save it saves
the caches to those files.
