DESCRIPTION

13       Ibod  is  a ISDN MPPP bandwidth on demand daemon designed to operate in
14       conjunction with isdn4linux.  It is normally started at boot time,  but
15       can  be  started  and stopped at any time. The program monitors inbound
16       and outbound traffic on the ISDN interface. When the required bandwidth
17       exceeds  the  capacity for one IDSN B-channel (64kbps) a second (slave)
18       channel is connected according to the MPPP protocol. When  the  traffic
19       decreases  below  one  channel  capacity,  the slave channel is discon‐
20       nected.
21
22       A configuration file /etc/ppp/ibod.cf is read  initially.   The  device
23       /dev/isdninfo  is monitored for the current state and throughput of the
24       ISDN interface.  All operation on the ISDN interface  is  made  through
25       the /dev/isdnctrl interface.
26
27       Ibod  is  also  listening on TCP port 6050 for eventual connection from
28       control panel

SIGNALS
