.TH RSPFD.CONF 5 "26 February 1997" Linux "Linux Programmer's Manual"
.SH NAME
rspfd.confi \- rspfd configuration file.
.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
.B rspfd.conf
allows the user to control the behaviour of the
.B rspfd
routing daemon. The purpose of this file is to specify what interfaces the
daemon will listen on, what node groups it is responsible for and also to
change any of the many timers and set points within
.B rspfd
from their compiled defaults.
.SH PARAMATERS
The various paramaters that are possible are described below.
.TP 10
.B #
Any line beginning with the hash (H) symbol is treated as a comment.
.TP 10
.B rrhtimer 
Number of seconds between Router-Router Hellos (RRH)
.TP 
.B sustimeout
An adjacency becomes suspect if we have not heard from it in this amount of
time in seconds.
.TP
.B pingtimer  
This is the amount of time the daemon waits after sending a ping
to a suspect or tentative adjacency before sending another one.
.TP
.B suspings  
The number of pings attempted on a tentative or suspect adjacency.
.TP
.B pingsize 
The size of the ping packets used to ping suspect or tentative
adjacencies, in bytes.
.TP
.B reasmtimeout   
The number of seconds to wait after receiving a routing
bulletin fragment before considering the following fragment has been
lost. (Re-assembly timer)
.TP
.B bulltimer  
Number of seconds between sending full routing bulletins (not
including bulletins that are send due to new routers).
.TP
.B bulltimeout  
Number of seconds before a routing bulletin's sequence num- ber
is considered invalid. This is so when a router crashes and forgets its
sequence number you don't ignore it's routing updates as old for a long
time.
.TP
.B linkhorizon  
The horizon that is given to adjacent routers. This should be a
large value such as 32 to be sent far.
.TP
.B grouphorizon
The horizon given to node group advertisements.  This should
be similar to link horizon.
.TP
.B localhorizon  
The horizon given to adjacent non-routers that are in one of
the local node groups.  This should be small as it is only to resolve
which router out of a few will service specific nodes in the node
group.
.TP
.B portablehorizon   
The horizon given to adjacent non-routers that are not in
a node-group. This should be similar to link horizon.
.TP
.B badthreshold   
The percentage of packets the we must receive to say that an
adjacency is ok (as opposed to marginal). This is used to scale-up the
cost of an adjacency.
.TP
.B badadjustment    
The multiplier used on metrics for marginal adjacencies. 
For example if the interface cost is 2 and the adjustment is 1.5, then
the cost of a marginal adjacency is 3 (2 1:5).
.TP
.B "rspfiface=<dev> <cost>"
Enable rspf on device (not ax25 port) dev and give all adjacencies found on
this interface the default cost of <cost>.
.TP
.B "nodegroups=<address> <bits> <dev> [<cost>]" Add a node group that is
described as IP address <address> with <bits> significant bits to device
(not axport) <dev>.  You may also optionally make this node group have a
cost of <cost>, otherwise it will use the default cost of the specified
interface.
