NAME

     ng_ip_input — netgraph IP input node type

DESCRIPTION

     The ip_input node type takes all received packets and queues them into the IP in input
     processing subsystem.

HOOKS

     the name is unique.

     This node type supports only the generic control messages.  Other control messages are
     silently discarded.

     This node shuts down upon receipt of a NGM_SHUTDOWN control message, or when all hooks have
     been disconnected.
