39.Sh NAME
40.Nm ng_UI
41.Nd UI netgraph node type
42.Sh SYNOPSIS
43.In netgraph/ng_UI.h
44.Sh DESCRIPTION
45The
46.Nm UI
47node type has two hooks,
48.Dv upstream
49and
50.Dv downstream .
51Packets received on
52.Dv downstream
53must have 0x03 (indicating unnumbered information) as their first byte;
54if not the packet is dropped.
55This byte is then stripped and the
56remainder of the packet sent out on
57.Dv upstream .
58.Pp
59Conversely, packets received on
60.Dv upstream
61will have a 0x03 byte prepended to them before being forwarded out on the
62.Dv downstream
63hook.
64.Sh HOOKS
65This node type supports the following hooks:
66.Bl -tag -width ".Va downstream"
67.It Va downstream
68Downstream connection.
69Packets on this side of the node have a 0x03 as
70their first byte.
71.It Va upstream
72Upstream connection.
73Packets on this side of the node have the
74initial 0x03 byte stripped off.
75.El
76.Sh CONTROL MESSAGES
77This node type supports only the generic control messages.
78.Sh SHUTDOWN
79This node shuts down upon receipt of a
80.Dv NGM_SHUTDOWN
81control message, or when both hooks have been disconnected.
