NAME

       transponder — backend node for load balancing services

SYNOPSIS

       transponder [-c config] address [address ...]

DESCRIPTION

       For each address specified, registers with the carrousel(8) program running at that address and announces
       willingness  to  serve  connections.   It  also transmits information about the current capacity, so that
       connections are distributed fairly amongst backend nodes.  Multiple addresses  may  be  specified  for  a
       single host for multipath routing.

OPTIONS

       -c config
               Read configuration from config instead of the default configuration file.
