-.Sh NAME
-.Nm IPXrouted
-.Nd IPX Routing Information Protocol daemon
-.Sh SYNOPSIS
-.Nm
-.Op Fl N
-.Op Fl q
-.Op Fl s
-.Op Fl S
-.Op Fl t
-.Op Ar logfile
-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-The
-.Nm
-utility is invoked at boot time to manage the
-.Tn IPX
-routing tables.
-The
-.Tn IPX
-routing daemon uses the Novell
-.Tn IPX
-Routing Information Protocol in maintaining up to date kernel routing
-table entries.
-.Pp
-Available options:
-.Bl -tag -width logfile
-.It Fl N
-Do not reply on GetNearestServer
-.Tn SAP
-request.
-.It Fl q
-Do not supply routing information (opposite of
-.Fl s
-option below).
-.It Fl s
-Forces
-.Nm
-to supply routing information whether it is acting as an internetwork
-router or not.
-.It Fl S
-Do not supply Service Advertising Protocol
-.Pq Tn SAP
-information.
-The default is to supply
-.Tn SAP
-information.
-.It Fl t
-All packets sent or received are
-printed on the standard output.
-In addition,
-.Nm
-will not divorce itself from the controlling terminal
-so that interrupts from the keyboard will kill the process.
-.It Ar logfile
-Name of file in which
-.Nm Ns 's
-actions should be logged.
-This log contains information
-about any changes to the routing tables and a history of
-recent messages sent and received which are related to
-the changed route.
-.El
-.Pp
-In normal operation
-.Nm
-listens
-for routing information packets.
-If the host is connected to
-multiple
-.Tn IPX
-networks, it periodically supplies copies
-of its routing tables to any directly connected hosts
-and networks.
-.Pp
-When
-.Nm
-is started, it uses the
-.Dv SIOCGIFCONF
-.Xr ioctl 2
-to find those
-directly connected interfaces configured into the
-system and marked
-.Dq up
-(the software loopback interface is ignored).
-If multiple interfaces
-are present, it is assumed the host will forward packets
-between networks.
-The
-.Nm
-utility then transmits a
-.Em request
-packet on each interface (using a broadcast packet if
-the interface supports it) and enters a loop, listening
-for
-.Em request
-and
-.Em response
-packets from other hosts.
-.Pp
-When a
-.Em request
-packet is received,
-.Nm
-formulates a reply based on the information maintained in its
-internal tables.
-The
-.Em response
-packet generated contains a list of known routes, each marked
-with a
-.Dq hop count
-metric (a count of 16, or greater, is
-considered
-.Dq infinite ) .
-The metric associated with each
-route returned provides a metric
-.Em relative to the sender .
-.Pp
-.Em Response
-packets received by
-.Nm
-are used to update the routing tables if one of the following
-conditions is satisfied:
-.Bl -bullet
-.It
-No routing table entry exists for the destination network
-or host, and the metric indicates the destination is
-.Dq reachable
-(i.e., the hop count is not infinite).
-.It
-The source host of the packet is the same as the router in the
-existing routing table entry.
-That is, updated information is
-being received from the very internetwork router through which
-packets for the destination are being routed.
-.It
-The existing entry in the routing table has not been updated for
-some time (defined to be 90 seconds) and the route is at least
-as cost effective as the current route.
-.It
-The new route describes a shorter route to the destination than
-the one currently stored in the routing tables; the metric of
-the new route is compared against the one stored in the table
-to decide this.
-.El
-.Pp
-When an update is applied,
-.Nm
-records the change in its internal tables and generates a
-.Em response
-packet to all directly connected hosts and networks.
-The
-.Xr routed 8
-utility waits a short period
-of time (no more than 30 seconds) before modifying the kernel's
-routing tables to allow possible unstable situations to settle.
-.Pp
-In addition to processing incoming packets,
-.Nm
-also periodically checks the routing table entries.
-If an entry has not been updated for 3 minutes, the entry's metric
-is set to infinity and marked for deletion.
-Deletions are delayed
-an additional 60 seconds to ensure the invalidation is propagated
-to other routers.
-.Pp
-Hosts acting as internetwork routers gratuitously supply their
-routing tables every 30 seconds to all directly connected hosts
-and networks.
-.Pp
-If
-.Nm
-receives a
-.Dv SIGINFO
-signal the current contents of the
-.Tn RIP
-and
-.Tn SAP
-tables are appended to the file
-.Pa /var/log/ipxrouted.dmp .

-.Nm
-utility first appeared in
