|
|
.Nd frame relay netgraph node type
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In netgraph/ng_frame_relay.h
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm frame_relay
|
|
node type performs encapsulation, de-encapsulation, and multiplexing
|
|
of packets using the frame relay protocol.
|
|
It supports up to 1024 DLCI's.
|
|
The LMI protocol is handled by a separate node type (see
|
|
.Xr ng_lmi 4 ) .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Dv downstream
|
|
hook should be connected to the synchronous line, i.e., the switch.
|
|
Then hooks
|
|
.Dv dlci0 ,
|
|
.Dv dlci1 ,
|
|
through
|
|
.Dv dlci1023
|
|
are available to connect to each of the DLCI channels.
|
|
.Sh HOOKS
|
|
This node type supports the following hooks:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width foobar
|
|
.It Dv downstream
|
|
The connection to the synchronous line.
|
|
.It Dv dlciX
|
|
Here X is a decimal number from 0 to 1023.
|
|
This hook corresponds
|
|
to the DLCI X frame relay virtual channel.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh CONTROL MESSAGES
|
|
This node type supports only the generic control messages.
|
|
.Sh SHUTDOWN
|
|
This node shuts down upon receipt of a
|
|
.Dv NGM_SHUTDOWN
|
|
control message, or when all hooks have been disconnected.

|
|
.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
node type was implemented in
|
|
.Fx 4.0 .
|
|

|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
Technically, frames on DLCI X should not be transmitted to the switch
|
|
until the LMI protocol entity on both ends has configured DLCI X as active.
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
node type ignores this restriction, and will always pass data received
|
|
on a DLCI hook to
|
|
.Dv downstream .
|
|
Instead, it should query the LMI node first.
