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	band-
       width  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 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 con-
       figuration file ibod.cf.


DIAGNOSTICS
       All logging is made to syslog with the identity tag ibod.


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