From the manpage: + +*** +The ifstated daemon runs commands in response to network state changes, +which it determines by monitoring interface link state or running exter- +nal tests. For example, it can be used with carp(4) to change running +services or to ensure that carp(4) interfaces stay in sync, or with pf(4) +to test server or link availability and modify translation or routing +rules. +*** + +It has been modified to use FreeBSD's kqueue/kevent mechanism and sysctl. + +Matthew George <mdg@secureworks.net> |
