A shadow interface is intended to use an ATM PVC as an alternative serial connection, and to be allocated per PVC basis. A shadow interface looks as a point-to-point interface and is multicast capable, as opposed to the NBMA (NonBroadcast Multiple Access) model that requires a MARS server. A point-to-point interface is useful to run MBone or protocols requiring multicast, such as RSVP and IPv6, over a PVC WAN connection. If people like these features, I will commit the changes to the FreeBSD-current tree. The source code for both 2.2.x and 3.0 is avaiable from ftp://ftp.csl.sony.co.jp/pub/kjc/bsdatm-971229.tar.gz other difference from bsdatm dist1.4: - the code base is updated to sync with $NetBSD: midway.c,v 1.30 1997/09/29 17:40:38 chuck Exp $ - code cleanup. - remove support of FreeBSD-2.1.x and broken early versions of 3.0-SNAP. - remove WMAYBE DMA related code for ENI cards. (it doesn't work.) - remove updating if_lastchange for every packet. - BPF related code is moved to midway.c as it should be. (bpfwrite should work if atm_pseudohdr and LLC/SNAP are prepended.) - BPF link type is changed to DLT_ATM_RFC1483. BPF now understands only LLC/SNAP!! (because bpf can't handle variable link header length.) It is recommended to use LLC/SNAP instead of NULL encapsulation for various reasons. (BPF, IPv6, interoperability, etc.) - integrate IPv6 support. - man pages (en(4), natm(4), pvc(4), pvcsif(8), pvctxctl(8)) --- Kenjiro Cho From owner-freebsd-atm Mon Dec 29 04:22:18 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id EAA01191 for atm-outgoing; Mon, 29 Dec 1997 04:22:18 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-atm) Received: from critter.freebsd.dk (critter.freebsd.dk [195.8.129.26]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id EAA01186 for ; Mon, 29 Dec 1997 04:22:11 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from phk@critter.freebsd.dk) Received: from critter.freebsd.dk (localhost.cybercity.dk [127.0.0.1]) by critter.freebsd.dk (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id NAA19134; Mon, 29 Dec 1997 13:19:11 +0100 (CET) (envelope-from phk@critter.freebsd.dk) To: Kenjiro Cho cc: freebsd-atm@FreeBSD.ORG, chuck@ccrc.wustl.edu Subject: Re: en atm driver update In-reply-to: Your message of "Mon, 29 Dec 1997 20:44:51 +0900." <199712291145.UAA08733@hotaka.csl.sony.co.jp> Date: Mon, 29 Dec 1997 13:19:11 +0100 Message-ID: <19132.883397951@critter.freebsd.dk> From: Poul-Henning Kamp Sender: owner-freebsd-atm@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk go for it! -- Poul-Henning Kamp FreeBSD coreteam member phk@FreeBSD.ORG "Real hackers run -current on their laptop."
