irdd description

The routing daemon irdd implements the Internet Router Discovery (IRD) protocol. For information on this protocol see ``Internet Router Discovery (IRD) protocol''.

The SCO TCP/IP start/stop script, tcp(ADMN), starts and stops irdd when a ROUTERDAEMONx variable is set to /etc/irdd in the tcp(SFF) configuration file (/etc/default/tcp). SCO TCP/IP is shipped with a default /etc/irdd.conf configuration file. irdd can be run on both routers and nonrouters. See the reference manual pages irdd(ADMN) and irdd.conf(SFF) for more information.
