mheardd - collect information about packet activity
Contents
Description
Mheardd is a daemon that collects the statistics about the activity on all the AX.25 channels that are
configured. The list generated is available for viewing by the mheard(1) program. The information
collected is a superset of the information normally collected by similar mheard programs and this is
reflected in the options available for the viewing program. Logging to the system log file may be enabled
which will enable monitoring of pathalogical conditions, for example invalid frame types and
invalid/unknown protocol IDs.
