[nos-bbs] JNOS forwarding on RF and IP/UDP

[Michael E Fox - N6MEF]

Given two JNOS machines which can reach each other via both RF (AX.25) and
LAN/IP (AXIP/AXUDP), is there a way to set up forwarding over both paths?

 

Theoretically, I can think of two desireable scenarios:

1)  Set a preference such that if the AXIP/AXUDP path is available, use that
instead of the AX.25 path.

2)  Use both paths but forward frequently over the AXIP/AXUDP path and just
prior to forwarding with AX.25.  If the IP path is up, then there's usually
nothing left to forward when the RF forwarding cycle starts.  If the IP path
is down, then the next RF forwarding cycle would handle it.  

 

The second option could be preferable if you also perform polling on the RF
path since it would keep the jheard entries populated even if there is
nothing to forward.  The jheard info could be used to verify that the RF
(backup) path is still good.
