NAME
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 traffic 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 discon-
nected.
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 oper-
ation on the ISDN interface is made through the /dev/isdnctrl interface.
Ibod is also listening on TCP port 6050 for eventual connection 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.
SEE ALSO
ibod.cf(4) and xibod(1)
