AXROUTES

Command

AXROUTES -- Display AX25 level 2 circuits

Synopsis

AX[routes]

Description

The AXroutes command displays information about current and recently active ax25 level 2 connections.

It allows the sysop to monitor the performance of the links between the router and its users.

Entries are purged 24 hours after they were last active, unless they are "locked" (indicated by "!" after the callsign), i.e. in use by level 3.

The display shows the the port number and the remote callsign, with a chevron ">" in the leftmost column if the link is currently active.

"M", "Pac" and "F" are the Maxframe, Paclen and Frack last used on that link. They may be the same as the port or global defaults, or they may have been dynamically modified by XRPi to suit the link conditions

"RTT" is the Round Trip Time in seconds, i.e. the average time from sending a packet to receiving an acknowledgement for that packet. This is dependent on many variables, such as the packet size, the quality of the link, the data rate, the amount of queued data, the TXdelay and Resptime intervals at each end etc...

"Sent" is the total no. of L2 frames sent to that station.

"Resent" is the number of frames which had to be retried.

"RTY%" is the ratio of these expressed as a percentage.

"Rcvd" is the total no. of L2 frames received from that station.

"Lost" is the number which were lost and had to be re-sent from the other end.

"Rol" is "Rate Of Loss", which is effectively the retry rate which would be seen by the other station.

Finally, Date/Time shows when the station was last heard.
