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