ng_gif_demux

demultiplexer for packets from ng_gif(4) nodes

#include <netgraph/ng_gif_demux.h>

The ng_gif_demux netgraph node type demultiplexes the output from ng_gif(4) nodes in the netgraph(4) networking subsystem.

The gif hook is meant to be connected to the lower or orphans hook of an ng_gif(4) node. The inet, inet6, atalk, ipx, atm, natm, and ns hooks output frames of the given type when they are received on the gif hook. When a frame is received on one of these hooks, it is encapsulated and sent out the gif hook.

This node type supports the following hooks:

Connection to the lower or orphans hook of an ng_gif(4) node.
Hook for input and output of IP frames.
Hook for input and output of IPv6 frames.
Hook for input and output of AppleTalk frames.
Hook for input and output of IPX frames.
Hook for input and output of ATM frames.
Hook for input and output of NATM frames.
Hook for input and output of NS frames.

This node type supports only the generic control messages.
