NAME

6       ipx_ticks - Configuration file for ipxd
7

SYNOPSIS

9       /etc/ipx_ticks
10

DESCRIPTION

13       The  ipx_ticks  file contains the configuration information required by
14       ipxd, the IPX RIP/SAP daemon.
15
16       The RIP/SAP daemon can find out nearly all information it needs to  run
17       properly  by  scanning the file /proc/net/ipx_interfaces, and by asking
18       other routers and servers on the net. The only information it  can  not
19       get  this  way is the time it takes to send a packet over the different
20       interfaces. This information is required by the IPX RIP protocol. It is
21       specified in so-called ticks, which is about 55 ms per tick.
22
23       The  format  of  this file is very simple. On each line of the file the
24       tick value for a physical interface is specified. The  first  field  is
25       the  name  of the interface, and the ticks value follows after a white-
26       space.  Empty lines as well as lines starting with '#' are  ignored.  A
27       possible example is the following:
28
29          # Tick values for IPX interfaces
30          #
31          # device name    ticks value
32          eth0             1
33          ppp0             7
34
35
36       The  default ticks value for devices not specified in /etc/ipx_ticks is
37       1.
