NAME
ng_gif
- generic tunnel interface netgraph node type
SYNOPSIS
#include <netgraph/ng_gif.h>
DESCRIPTION
The
netgraph node type allows
gif(4)
interfaces to interact with
the
netgraph(4)
networking subsystem.
Once the
module is loaded in the kernel, a node is automatically created
for each
gif(4)
interface in the system.
Each node will attempt to name itself with the same name
as the associated interface.
All
nodes are persistent for as long as the interface itself exists.
Two hooks are supported:
lower
and
orphans
The hook name
divert
may be used as an alias for
lower
and is provided for compatibility with
ng_ether4.
In reality the two names represent the same hook.
The
lower
hook is a connection to the raw
gif(4)
device.
When connected, all incoming packets are diverted out this hook.
Writing to this hook results in a raw encapsulated packet being transmitted
by the device.
Normal outgoing packets are not affected by
lower
being connected.
The
orphans
hook is equivalent to
lower
except that only unrecognized packets (that would otherwise be discarded)
are written to the hook, and normal incoming traffic is unaffected.
At most one of
orphans
and
lower
may be connected at any time.
In all cases, frames are raw packets with the address family of the
packet attached to the front.
When no hooks are connected, packets flow normally upwards and downwards.
HOOKS
This node type supports the following hooks:
lower
Connection to the lower device link layer.
orphans
Like
lower
but only receives unrecognized packets.
CONTROL MESSAGES
This node type supports only the generic control messages.
EXAMPLES
This command dumps all unrecognized packets received by the
gif0
interface to standard output decoded in hex and ASCII:
