NAME

       ltpclo - LTP-based BP convergence layer adapter output task

SYNOPSIS

       ltpclo [-]remote_node_nbr

DESCRIPTION

       ltpclo is a background "daemon" task that extracts bundles from the queues of segments
       ready for transmission via LTP to the remote bundle protocol agent identified by
       remote_node_nbr and passes them to the local LTP engine for aggregation, segmentation, and
       transmission to the remote node.  If remote_node_nbr is preceded by a '-' character, then
       all LTP transmission performed by ltpclo will be "green" (unreliable) transmission,
       without acknowledgment and retransmission.

       Note that ltpclo is not a "promiscuous" convergence layer daemon: it can transmit bundles
       only to the node for which it is configured, so scheme configuration directives that cite
       this outduct need only provide the protocol name and the outduct name (the remote node
       number) as specified on the command line when ltpclo is started.

       ltpclo is spawned automatically by bpadmin in response to the 's' (START) command that
       starts operation of the Bundle Protocol, and it is terminated by bpadmin in response to an
       'x' (STOP) command.  ltpclo can also be spawned and terminated in response to START and
       STOP commands that pertain specifically to the LTP convergence layer protocol.

EXIT STATUS

       "0" ltpclo terminated normally, for reasons noted in the ion.log file.  If this
           termination was not commanded, investigate and solve the problem identified in the log
           file and use bpadmin to restart the BRSC protocol.

       "1" ltpclo terminated abnormally, for reasons noted in the ion.log file.  Investigate and
           solve the problem identified in the log file, then use bpadmin to restart the BRSC
           protocol.

FILES

       No configuration files are needed.

ENVIRONMENT

       No environment variables apply.

DIAGNOSTICS

       The following diagnostics may be issued to the ion.log log file:

       ltpclo can't attach to BP.
           bpadmin has not yet initialized Bundle Protocol operations.

       No such ltp duct.
           No LTP outduct with duct name matching remote_node_nbr has been added to the BP
           database.  Use bpadmin to stop the LTP convergence-layer protocol, add the outduct,
           and then restart the LTP protocol.

       CLO task is already started for this duct.
           Redundant initiation of ltpclo.

       ltpclo can't initialize LTP.
           ltpadmin has not yet initialized LTP operations.
