       This manual page documents briefly the ramond command.

       ramond  is  a daemon program monitoring IPv6 router advertisement packets.  When an advert is reveived, a
       configurable action occurs.

       ramond was designed to “clear” (by sending spoofed zero lifetime adverts)  rogue  routes  sent  by  users
       running 6to4 gateways on a campus network.  Actions are scriptable.  Almost all the available information
       is passed to a script via environmental variables (see the ENVIRONMENT section for details).

       This section details the environment variables set by ramond when it runs a user-configured script.

       PREFIX The advertised prefix, or null

       PREFIX_LEN
              The length of the advertised prefix, or null

       SOURCE_ADDR
              The IPv6 source address of the packet

       SOURCE_MAC
              The MAC source address of the packet

       INTERFACE
              The interface which the packet was received on

       /etc/ramond.conf
              The system-wide configuration file to control the behaviour  of  ramond.  See  ramond.conf(5)  for
              further details.
