The permanent connection is more of a persistent connection.
Using a normal connection will work but eventually the connection
may drop due to internet latency (auto congest) or other reasons.
If you normally are connected to another node on a full time basis
then the perm connection may be desirable.
What it does is keeps your node connected to the other node. If
there is a loss of network connection it will re establish the
connection automatically when the internet recovers.
This is only true if both nodes are up an running.
If a node was restarted or rebooted then the connection will have
made manually.
If you want the connection to be made if a node is restarted then
set up a macro to establish the perm connection. Then define a
startup macro in your node stanza to call the macro to connect the
two nodes when the node starts.

Can someone explain to me the
advantage of a "Permanent Connection" and how it works?
Is it supposed to auto reconnect
in the event of an internet outage?
Is it supposed to reconnect after
a reboot? If so, a total reboot or just an ASTRES.sh restart?
Thanks...Greg KJ6KO
