NAME¶
ng_sscfu — netgraph SSCF at the UNI node typeSYNOPSIS¶
#include <netnatm/saal/sscopdef.h>#include <netnatm/saal/sscfudef.h>
#include <netgraph/atm/ng_sscfu.h>
DESCRIPTION¶
The sscfu netgraph node type implements ITU-T recommendation Q.2130. This recommendation specifies the Service Specific Coordination Function at the UNI. This is a thin sub-layer between the SSCOP (see ng_sscop(4)) and the UNI signalling. This node does not really implement a protocol but provides a mapping between the signals at the upper layer of the SSCOP and the signals the UNI expects at its lower layer. It also provides default values for the parameters of the SSCOP. After creation of the node, the SSCF instance must be created by sending an “enable” message to the node. If the node is enabled, default SSCOP parameters can be retrieved and set in the corresponding SSCOP instance. The node is shut down either by aNGM_SHUTDOWN
message,
or when all hooks are disconnected.
HOOKS¶
Each sscfu node has two hooks with fixed names:- lower
- This hook is the interface to the SSCOP. The interface expected here is exactly that which is exported by the ng_sscop(4) node type.
- upper
- This is the interface to the UNI. It uses the following
message format:
struct sscfu_arg { uint32_t sig; u_char data[]; };
enum saal_sig { SAAL_ESTABLISH_request, /* U -> SAAL: (UU) */ SAAL_ESTABLISH_indication, /* SAAL -> U: (UU) */ SAAL_ESTABLISH_confirm, /* SAAL -> U: (UU) */ SAAL_RELEASE_request, /* U -> SAAL: (UU) */ SAAL_RELEASE_confirm, /* SAAL -> U: */ SAAL_RELEASE_indication, /* SAAL -> U: (UU) */ SAAL_DATA_request, /* U -> SAAL: (DATA) */ SAAL_DATA_indication, /* SAAL -> U: (DATA) */ SAAL_UDATA_request, /* U -> SAAL: (UDATA) */ SAAL_UDATA_indication, /* SAAL -> U: (UDATA) */ };
->
’), or is sent by the node user to the node (‘<-
’). The type of the data expected for the signal is specified in parentheses. This data starts at the data field of the message structure.
CONTROL MESSAGES¶
The sscfu node understands the generic messages plus the following:NGM_SSCFU_GETDEFPARAM
- This message returns a sscop_param
structure, which contains the default parameters for the SSCOP at the UNI.
This structure should be used for a
NGM_SSCOP_SETPARAM
message to the SSCOP node below the SSCF. NGM_SSCFU_ENABLE
- This message creates the actual SSCF instance and initializes it. Until this is done, parameters may neither be retrieved nor set, and all messages received on any hook are discarded.
NGM_SSCFU_DISABLE
- Destroy the SSCF instance. After this, all messages on any hooks are discarded.
NGM_SSCFU_GETDEBUG
- Retrieve the debugging flags in a uint32_t.
NGM_SSCFU_SETDEBUG
- Set debugging flags. The argument must be a uint32_t.
NGM_SSCFU_GETSTATE
- Retrieve the current state of the SSCFU instance in a uint32_t. If the node has not been enabled, 0 is returned.
