The replacement of x25manager is available in France as a patch for
SunLink X.25 6.0. Its name is x25mgr, it supports :
o static VC management for IP over X.25 (same thing than old x25manager)
o dynamic VC management for IP over X.25 with :
* establishment of VC on demand (with a lookup in a table for the mapping
between "X.25 addresses" and IP addresses)
* VC shutdown on timeout
o dynamic VC management for DDN networks
o dynamic VC management for OSI/CLNP
It is far better than x25manager :
o "parse only" command option (exits after parsing configuration)
o re-read of configuration file on hangup signal
o new parameters in listener and path sections :
* linkid
* local_x121
* timeout (if dynamic)
* pvc
* reverse_charge
* facilities (packet & window sizes, "thruputs", cug, rpoa)
o more reliable
The bad news : it is NOT available outside France (a new case of Sun user
support policy). I don't know the real reason ?
