NAME¶
ng_ether_echo
—
netgraph ether_echo node type
SYNOPSIS¶
#include
<netgraph/ng_ether_echo.h>
DESCRIPTION¶
The
ether_echo
node type reflects all data
and control messages back to the sender. It assumes (and does not check) that
the packet is an ethernet frame, and swaps the source and destination
addresses before echoing it. This node type is used for testing and debugging.
HOOKS¶
A
ether_echo
node accepts any request to
connect, regardless of the hook name, as long as the name is unique.
CONTROL MESSAGES¶
This node type supports only the generic control messages. Any other control
messages are reflected back to the sender.
SHUTDOWN¶
This node shuts down upon receipt of a
NGM_SHUTDOWN
control message, or when all
hooks have been disconnected.

HISTORY¶
The
ng_ether_echo
node type was implemented
in
FreeBSD 8.0.
