@@@AX25RTD@@@(8)

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 recommend 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_route and /var/ax25/ax25rtd/ip_route. On SIGTERM or @@@ax25rtctl@@@ --save it saves the caches to those files.
