IBOD(1L)                                                 IBOD(1L)



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  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.


SEE ALSO
       ibod.cf(4) and xibod(1)
