ipx_ticks(5)
NAME
ipx_ticks - Configuration file for ipxd
SYNOPSIS
/etc/ipx_ticks
DESCRIPTION
The ipx_ticks file contains the configuration information
required by ipxd, the IPX RIP/SAP daemon.
The RIP/SAP daemon can find out nearly all information it
needs to run properly by scanning the file
/proc/net/ipx_interfaces, and by asking other routers and
servers on the net. The only information it can not get
this way is the time it takes to send a packet over the
different interfaces. This information is required by the
IPX RIP protocol. It is specified in so-called ticks,
which is about 55 ms per tick.
- The format of this file is very simple. On each line of
the file the tick value for a physical interface is speci
fied. The first field is the name of the interface, and
the ticks value follows after a white-space. Empty lines
as well as lines starting with '#' are ignored. A possible
example is the following: - # Tick values for IPX interfaces
#
# device name ticks value
eth0 1
ppp0 7 - The default ticks value for devices not specified in
/etc/ipx_ticks is 1.
