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 recomment 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 maintenance 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_routes  and  /var/ax25/ax25rtd/ip_routes.  On SIGTERM or ax25rtctl --save it saves
       the caches to those files.

FILES

       /etc/ax25/ax25rtd.conf
