Avoid using parenthesis enclosure macros (.Pq and .Po/.Pc) with plain text. Not only this slows down the mdoc(7) processing significantly, but it also has an undesired (in this case) effect of disabling hyphenation within the entire enclosed block.

|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Cd "device gif" Op Ar count
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
interface is a generic tunnelling pseudo device for IPv4 and IPv6.
|
|
It can tunnel IPv[46] traffic over IPv[46].
|
|
Therefore, there can be four possible configurations.
|
|
The behavior of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is mainly based on RFC2893 IPv6-over-IPv4 configured tunnel.
|
|
On
|
|
.Nx ,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
can also tunnel ISO traffic over IPv[46] using EON encapsulation.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To use
|
|
.Nm ,
|
|
administrator needs to configure protocol and addresses used for the outer
|
|
header.
|
|
This can be done by using
|
|
.Xr gifconfig 8 ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Dv SIOCSIFPHYADDR
|
|
ioctl.
|
|
Also, administrator needs to configure protocol and addresses used for the
|
|
inner header, by using
|
|
.Xr ifconfig 8 .
|
|
Note that IPv6 link-local address
|
|
(those start with
|
|
.Li fe80:: )
|
|
will be automatically configured whenever possible.
|
|
You may need to remove IPv6 link-local address manually using
|
|
.Xr ifconfig 8 ,
|
|
when you would like to disable the use of IPv6 as inner header
|
|
(like when you need pure IPv4-over-IPv6 tunnel).
|
|
Finally, use routing table to route the packets toward
|
|
.Nm
|
|
interface.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
can be configured to be ECN friendly.
|
|
This can be configured by
|
|
.Dv IFF_LINK1 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Ss ECN friendly behavior
|
|
.Nm
|
|
can be configured to be ECN friendly, as described in
|
|
.Dv draft-ietf-ipsec-ecn-02.txt .
|
|
This is turned off by default, and can be turned on by
|
|
.Dv IFF_LINK1
|
|
interface flag.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Without
|
|
.Dv IFF_LINK1 ,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will show a normal behavior, like described in RFC2893.
|
|
This can be summarized as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "Ingress" -offset indent
|
|
.It Ingress
|
|
Set outer TOS bit to
|
|
.Dv 0 .
|
|
.It Egress
|
|
Drop outer TOS bit.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
With
|
|
.Dv IFF_LINK1 ,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will copy ECN bits
|
|
.Dv ( 0x02
|
|
and
|
|
.Dv 0x01
|
|
on IPv4 TOS byte or IPv6 traffic class byte)
|
|
on egress and ingress, as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "Ingress" -offset indent
|
|
.It Ingress
|
|
Copy TOS bits except for ECN CE
|
|
(masked with
|
|
.Dv 0xfe )
|
|
from
|
|
inner to outer.
|
|
set ECN CE bit to
|
|
.Dv 0 .
|
|
.It Egress
|
|
Use inner TOS bits with some change.
|
|
If outer ECN CE bit is
|
|
.Dv 1 ,
|
|
enable ECN CE bit on the inner.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note that the ECN friendly behavior violates RFC2893.
|
|
This should be used in mutual agreement with the peer.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Ss Security
|
|
Malicious party may try to circumvent security filters by using
|
|
tunnelled packets.
|
|
For better protection,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
performs martian filter and ingress filter against outer source address,
|
|
on egress.
|
|
Note that martian/ingress filters are no way complete.
|
|
You may want to secure your node by using packet filters.
|
|
Ingress filter can be turned off by
|
|
.Dv IFF_LINK2
|
|
bit.

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
device first appeared in WIDE hydrangea IPv6 kit.
|
|
.\"
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
There are many tunnelling protocol specifications,
|
|
defined differently from each other.
|
|
.Nm
|
|
may not interoperate with peers which are based on different specifications,
|
|
and are picky about outer header fields.
|
|
For example, you cannot usually use
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to talk with IPsec devices that use IPsec tunnel mode.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The current code does not check if the ingress address
|
|
(outer source address)
|
|
configured to
|
|
.Nm
|
|
makes sense.
|
|
Make sure to configure an address which belongs to your node.
|
|
Otherwise, your node will not be able to receive packets from the peer,
|
|
and your node will generate packets with a spoofed source address.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the outer protocol is IPv4,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
does not try to perform path MTU discovery for the encapsulated packet
|
|
(DF bit is set to 0).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the outer protocol is IPv6, path MTU discovery for encapsulated packet
|
|
may affect communication over the interface.
|
|
The first bigger-than-pmtu packet may be lost.
|
|
To avoid the problem, you may want to set the interface MTU for
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to 1240 or smaller, when outer header is IPv6 and inner header is IPv4.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
does not translate ICMP messages for outer header into inner header.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In the past,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
had a multi-destination behavior, configurable via
|
|
.Dv IFF_LINK0
|
|
flag.
|
|
The behavior was obsoleted and is no longer supported.
