ibod - ISDN MPPP bandwidth on demand daemon
SYNOPSIS
ibod
DESCRIPTION
Ibod is a ISDN MPPP bandwidth on demand daemon designed to
operate in conjunction with isdn4linux. It is normally
started at boot time, but can be started and stopped at
any time. The program monitors inbound and outbound traf
fic on the ISDN interface. When the required bandwidth
exceeds the capacity for one IDSN B-channel (64kbps) a
second (slave) channel is connected according to the MPPP
protocol. When the traffic decreases below one channel
capacity, the slave channel is disconnected.
A configuration file /etc/ppp/ibod.cf is read initially.
The device /dev/isdninfo is monitored for the current
state and throughput of the ISDN interface. All operation
on the ISDN interface is made through the /dev/isdnctrl
interface.
Ibod is also listening on TCP port 6050 for eventual con
nection from control panel
SIGNALS
Upon receiving SIGHUP, the configuration file is re-read.
A SIGPIPE closes an eventual socket connection with xibod.
ENVIRONMENT
Variable IBOD_HOME specifies the directory where to look
for the configuration file ibod.cf.
DIAGNOSTICS
All logging is made to syslog with the identity tag ibod.
