2 /* dummy.c: a dummy net driver
3
4 The purpose of this driver is to provide a device to point a
5 route through, but not to actually transmit packets.
6
7 Why? If you have a machine whose only connection is an occasional
8 PPP/SLIP/PLIP link, you can only connect to your own hostname
9 when the link is up. Otherwise you have to use localhost.
10 This isn't very consistent.
11
12 One solution is to set up a dummy link using PPP/SLIP/PLIP,
13 but this seems (to me) too much overhead for too little gain.
14 This driver provides a small alternative. Thus you can do
15
16 [when not running slip]
17 ifconfig dummy slip.addr.ess.here up
18 [to go to slip]
19 ifconfig dummy down
20 dip whatever
21
22 This was written by looking at Donald Becker's skeleton driver
23 and the loopback driver. I then threw away anything that didn't
24 apply! Thanks to Alan Cox for the key clue on what to do with
25 misguided packets.
