NAME
ibod.cf - configuration file for ibod (ISDN Bandwidth On Demand)
DESCRIPTION
This file contains the initial configuration values for the ibod dae-
mon. Each line contains a keyword and a value.
Boolean attributes are set with 0 or 1 which corresponds to false and
true respectively. A boolean attribute not specified at all is always
false.
Lines beginning with # are treated as comments and will be ignored.
IMPORTANT RULES!
1. Keywords are case sensitive.
2. Kewords must begin at the first column.
3. Keywords and values must be separated by exactly one (1) space or
tab character.
This file is re-read every time ibod receives SIGHUP (1) signal.
OPTIONS
DEVICE <name>
Name of ISDN PPP device. Default is ippp0.
ENABLE 1|0
Enable/disable bandwidth-on-demand. Default is enable (1).
INTERVAL <n>
Specify the sample time interval in ms. Default is 500 ms.
FILTER <n>
Defines "filtering factor". A value of 10 means that the average
bytes/sec value measured over 10 intervals must pass the limit
defined by LIMIT to bring up or down the slave link. Default is
5.
LIMIT <n%>
Specifies percentage loading of the channel at which it is nec-
essary to up or down channels. This sets both up and down lim-
its to the same value. Note that this has changed from version
1.4.
UPLIMIT <n%>
Specifies percentage loading of the channel at which it is nec-
essary to up channels. Default is 90.
DOWNLIMIT <n%>
Specifies percentage loading of the channel at which it is nec-
essary to down channels. Default is 80.
STAYUP 0|1
Enable/disable slave channel stay up function. If enabled, the
second channel (slave link) will stay up even if the average
bytes/sec decrease the value defined by LIMIT. In this case the
slave link will stay up until hangup time is reached. (Example:
isdnctrl huptimeout ippp1 60) If disabled the slave link will be
brought down in the same way it was brought up. Default is 0.
STAYUP_TIME <n>
Defines the minimum time in seconds the second channel will
unconditionally stay up after it has been brought up. Default
value is 30.
STAYDOWN_TIME <n>
Defines the minimum time in seconds the second channel will
unconditionally stay down after it has been brought up. Default
value is 10.
FULL <n>
Defines the maximum throughput in bytes/sec one channel can
transmit. Default value is 7500.
MAX_CHANNELS <n>
Defines the maximum number of channels the connection can run
with. Default is 2.
