NAME

     transponder — backend node for load balancing services

SYNOPSIS

     transponder [-c config] address [address ...]

DESCRIPTION

     For each address specified, registers with the carrousel(8) program running at that address
     and announces willingness to serve connections.  It also transmits information about the
     current capacity, so that connections are distributed fairly amongst backend nodes.
     Multiple addresses may be specified for a single host for multipath routing.

OPTIONS

     -c config
             Read configuration from config instead of the default configuration file.
