NAME

6       ax25rtd - AX.25 routing daemon
7

SYNOPSIS

9       ax25rtd
10

DESCRIPTION

12       ax25rtd is a daemon that:
13
14       - emulates the ceased "autorouter" of Linux Kernel AX.25
15       - sets up ARP entries automagically
16       - may adjust IP routes and encapsulation mode
17         (although I really do not recomment to use this feature...)
18
19       The  "autorouter"  is  not really an autorouter. It just listens to the
20       AX.25 traffic on your ports and uses this information  to  setup  AX.25
21       routes. This can be turned on or off by altering the configuration file
22       /etc/ax25/ax25rtd.conf.
23
24       Ax25rtd provides a socket /var/ax25/ax25rtd/control which is  used  for
25       runtime maintainance through ax25rtctl or to set up new routes by other
26       daemons (a Flexnet router, perhaps?)
27
28       On startup ax25rtd reads the configuration file and afterwards preloads
29       the   caches   from   the   files   /var/ax25/ax25rtd/ax25_routes   and
30       /var/ax25/ax25rtd/ip_routes. On SIGTERM or ax25rtctl  --save  it  saves
31       the caches to those files.
