LTPCLO(1) BP executables LTPCLO(1) NAME
ltpclo - LTP-based BP convergence layer adapter output task SYNOPSIS
ltpclo [-]remote_node_nbr DESCRIPTION
ltpclo is a background "daemon" task that extracts bundles from the queues of segments ready for transmission via LTP to the remote bundle protocol agent identified by remote_node_nbr and passes them to the local LTP engine for aggregation, segmentation, and transmission to the remote node. If remote_node_nbr is preceded by a '-' character, then all LTP transmission performed by ltpclo will be "green" (unreliable) transmission, without acknowledgment and retransmission. Note that ltpclo is not a "promiscuous" convergence layer daemon: it can transmit bundles only to the node for which it is configured, so scheme configuration directives that cite this outduct need only provide the protocol name and the outduct name (the remote node number) as specified on the command line when ltpclo is started. ltpclo is spawned automatically by bpadmin in response to the 's' (START) command that starts operation of the Bundle Protocol, and it is terminated by bpadmin in response to an 'x' (STOP) command. ltpclo can also be spawned and terminated in response to START and STOP commands that pertain specifically to the LTP convergence layer protocol. EXIT STATUS
0 ltpclo terminated normally, for reasons noted in the ion.log file. If this termination was not commanded, investigate and solve the problem identified in the log file and use bpadmin to restart the BRSC protocol. 1 ltpclo terminated abnormally, for reasons noted in the ion.log file. Investigate and solve the problem identified in the log file, then use bpadmin to restart the BRSC protocol. FILES
No configuration files are needed. ENVIRONMENT
No environment variables apply. DIAGNOSTICS
The following diagnostics may be issued to the ion.log log file: ltpclo can't attach to BP. bpadmin has not yet initialized Bundle Protocol operations. No such ltp duct. No LTP outduct with duct name matching remote_node_nbr has been added to the BP database. Use bpadmin to stop the LTP convergence- layer protocol, add the outduct, and then restart the LTP protocol. CLO task is already started for this duct. Redundant initiation of ltpclo. ltpclo can't initialize LTP. ltpadmin has not yet initialized LTP operations. BUGS

LTPMETER(1) LTP executables LTPMETER(1) NAME
ltpmeter - LTP daemon task for aggregating and segmenting transmission blocks SYNOPSIS
ltpmeter remote_engine_nbr DESCRIPTION
ltpmeter is a background "daemon" task that manages the presentation of LTP segments to link service output tasks. Each "span" of LTP data interchange between the local LTP engine and a neighboring LTP engine requires its own ltpmeter task. All ltpmeter tasks are spawned automatically by ltpadmin in response to the 's' command that starts operation of the LTP protocol, and they are all terminated by ltpadmin in response to an 'x' (STOP) command. ltpmeter waits until its span's current transmission block (the data to be transmitted during the transmission session that is currently being constructed) is ready for transmission, then divides the data in the span's block buffer into segments and enqueues the segments for transmission by the span's link service output task (giving the segments semaphore to unblock the link service output task as necessary), then reinitializes the span's block buffer and starts another session (giving the "buffer empty" semaphore to unblock the client service task -- nominally ltpclo, the LTP convergence layer output task for Bundle Protocol -- as necessary). ltpmeter determines that the current transmission block is ready for transmission by waiting until either (a) the aggregate size of all service data units in the block's buffer exceeds the aggregation size limit for this span or (b) the length of time that the first service data unit in the block's buffer has been awaiting transmission exceeds the aggregation time limit for this span. The "buffer full" semaphore is given when ION (either the ltp_send() function or the ltpclock daemon) determines that one of these conditions is true; ltpmeter simply waits for this semaphore to be given. The initiation of a new session may also be blocked: the total number of transmission sessions that the local LTP engine may have open at a single time is limited (this is LTP flow control), and while the engine is at this limit no new sessions can be started. Availability of a session from the session pool is signaled by the "session" semaphore, which is given whenever a session is completed or canceled. EXIT STATUS
0 ltpmeter terminated normally, for reasons noted in the ion.log file. If this termination was not commanded, investigate and solve the problem identified in the log file and use ltpadmin to restart ltpmeter. 1 ltpmeter terminated abnormally, for reasons noted in the ion.log file. Investigate and solve the problem identified in the log file, then use ltpadmin to restart ltpmeter. FILES
No configuration files are needed. ENVIRONMENT
No environment variables apply. DIAGNOSTICS
The following diagnostics may be issued to the ion.log log file: ltpmeter can't initialize LTP. ltpadmin has not yet initialized LTP protocol operations. No such engine in database. remote_engine_nbr is invalid, or the applicable span has not yet been added to the LTP database by ltpadmin. ltpmeter task is already started for this engine. Redundant initiation of ltpmeter. ltpmeter can't start new session. An unrecoverable database error was encountered. ltpmeter terminates. Can't take bufClosedSemaphore. An unrecoverable database error was encountered. ltpmeter terminates. Can't create extents list. An unrecoverable database error was encountered. ltpmeter terminates. Can't post ExportSessionStart notice. An unrecoverable database error was encountered. ltpmeter terminates. Can't finish session. An unrecoverable database error was encountered. ltpmeter terminates.
