SYNOPSIS
#include
<netgraph/ng_UI.h>
DESCRIPTION
The UI node type has two hooks,
upstream and downstream.
Packets received on downstream must have 0x03
(indicating unnumbered information) as their first byte; if not the packet
is dropped. This byte is then stripped and the remainder of the packet sent
out on upstream.
Conversely, packets received on upstream
will have a 0x03 byte prepended to them before being forwarded out on the
downstream hook.
HOOKS
This node type supports the following hooks:
- downstream
- Downstream connection. Packets on this side of the node have a 0x03 as their first byte.
- upstream
- Upstream connection. Packets on this side of the node have the initial 0x03 byte stripped off.
CONTROL MESSAGES
This node type supports only the generic control messages.
SHUTDOWN
This node shuts down upon receipt of a
NGM_SHUTDOWN control message, or when both hooks
have been disconnected.
