IPX_TICKS(5)IPX_TICKS(5)NAMEipx_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 specified. 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.
