.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
|
.Nm sl
|
|
|
|
|
interface allows serial lines to be used as network interfaces using the
|
|
|
|
|
.Em slip
|
|
|
|
|
protocol. The
|
|
|
|
|
.Nm sl
|
|
|
|
|
interface can use Van Jacobson TCP header compression and ICMP filtering.

|
|
|
This is arranged by using the various link-level flags to the
|
|
|
|
|
.Xr ifconfig 8
|
|
|
|
|
command:
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
.Bl -tag -width LINK0X -compact
|
|
|
|
|
.It Em link0
|
|
|
|
|
Enable VJ header compression.
|
|
|
|
|
.It Em link1
|
|
|
|
|
Supress ICMP traffic.
|
|
|
|
|
.It Em link2
|
|
|
|
|
Enable VJ header compression autodetection. This will turn on the
|
|
|
|
|
.Em link0
|
|
|
|
|
flag as soon as the first VJ-compressed packet has been seen by
|
|
|
|
|
the driver.

The interface was handed

a message with addresses formatted in an unsuitable address
|
|
|
|
|
family; the packet was dropped.
