NAME

6       rip98d - Send and receive RIP98 routing messages

SYNOPSIS

9       rip98d [-d] [-l] [-r] [-t interval] [-v]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       The  RIP98  routing  protocol  was  devised by John Wiseman G8BPQ as an
13       alternative to both traditional RIP and RSPF for use in an RF  environ‐
14       ment.   Its  main advantage is that each routing element only takes six
15       bytes and is therefore much more efficient in terms of  bandwidth  than
16       other routing protocols.
17
18       In  operation  rip98d  that each neighbour that also uses RIP98 must be
19       listed. RIP98 is not a broadcast protocol and each neighbour  is  indi‐
20       vidually  contacted.  Any  incoming  RIP98  message  is  also validated
21       against   this   list.   The   list   of   neighbours   is   held    in
22       /etc/ax25/rip98d.conf,  and  each line is either the name or the dotted
23       decimal IP address of the neighbour.
24
25       The time interval between RIP98 transmissions is set  to  one  hour  by
26       default  but  other intervals can be set with the -t option. The routes
27       advertised and received can be restricted by the -r option  which  only
28       allows  processing  of  ampr.org  addresses. At present rip98d is under
29       development and any feedback on its operation would be welcome.

OPTIONS

32       -d              Set debugging on. Information is  only  output  if  the

34
35       -l              Enable logging to the system log, the default is off.
36
37       -r              Restricts  the  transmitting and receiving of routes to
38                       ampr.org (44.x.x.x) addresses only.
39
40       -t interval     The time interval between routing broadcasts,  in  min‐
41                       utes. The default is 60 minutes.
42
43       -v              Display the version.
