Wake-on-LAN is an Ethernet computer networking standard that allows a computer to be turned on or woken up by a network message. The message is usually sent by a simple program executed on another computer on the local area network. In order to use Wake-on-LAN over the Internet the appropriate message (magic packet) needs to be forwarded from the WAN side to the LAN side of the gateway. Wolpd is a Wake-on-LAN proxy daemon designed to analyze, log and eventually forward the received magic packets to the LAN hosts.
