The ramD Routing Daemon

The Route Administration Manager (ramD) is a routing daemon that handles multiple

Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) routing protocols. You can configure the ramD

Daemon (ramd) to perform all or any combination of the supported protocol functions.

ramd handles the following routing protocols:

• Routing Information Protocol Next-Generation (RIPng)

• Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)

• Intermediate System - Intermediate System for IPv6 (IS-IS)

Upon startup, ramd reads the HP-UX kernel routing table on the local machine. It

maintains a complete routing table in the user space and synchronizes this table with

the HP-UX kernel routing table. See the HP-UX ramD Administrator’s Guide at the URL
