Aan uses a unique protocol to make sure no data is ever lost even when the connection breaks. After a reconnection, aan retransmits all unacknowledged data between client and server.
A connection can be broken voluntarily (e.g. by roaming over IP networks), or a connection can break when the IP service is unreliable. In either case, aan re-establishes the client's connection automatically.
When the server part has not heard from the client in maxto seconds, the server part of aan exits. The default maxto is one day. The client side (option -c) calls the server by its dialstring, while the server side listens for connections in the already-announced network directory netdir.
Aan is usually run automatically through the -p option of import(4).
Then machine astro6's name space can be imported through aan using this command:
