.Dt ME 4

|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm me
|
|
.Nd encapsulating network device
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
To compile the
|
|
driver into the kernel, place the following line in the kernel
|
|
configuration file:
|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
|
|
.Cd "device me"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Alternatively, to load the
|
|
driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in
|
|
.Xr loader.conf 5 :
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
if_me_load="YES"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
network interface pseudo device encapsulates datagrams
|
|
into IP.
|
|
These encapsulated datagrams are routed to a destination host,
|
|
where they are decapsulated and further routed to their final destination.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
interfaces are dynamically created and destroyed with the
|
|
.Xr ifconfig 8
|
|
.Cm create
|
|
and
|
|
.Cm destroy
|
|
subcommands.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This driver corresponds to RFC 2004.
|
|
Datagrams are encapsulated into IP with a shorter encapsulation.
|
|
The original
|
|
IP header is modified and the modifications are inserted between the
|
|
so modified header and the original payload.
|
|
The protocol number 55 is used for outer header.
|
|
.Sh NOTES
|
|
For correct operation, the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
device needs a route to the decapsulating host that does not run over the tunnel,
|
|
as this would be a loop.
