This change allows one to specify almost the complete traffic parameters
for IPoverATM channels through the routing table. Up to now we used
4 byte DL addresses (flag, vpi, vciH, vciL). This format is still allowed.
If the address is longer, however, the 5th byte is interpreted as the
traffic class (UBR, CBR, VBR or ABR) and the remaining bytes are the
parameters for this traffic class:
UBR: 0 byte or 3 byte PCR
CBR: 3 byte PCR
VBR: 3 byte PCR, 3 byte SCR, 3 byte MBS
ABR: 3 byte PCR, 3 byte MCR, 3 byte ICR, 3 byte TBE, 1 byte NRM,
1 byte TRM, 2 bytes ADTF, 1 byte RIF, 1 byte RDF and 1 byte CDF
A script to generate the corresponding 'route add' arguments will follow soon.
