28.Dt NG_CHECKSUM 4
29.Os
30.Sh NAME
31.Nm ng_checksum
32.Nd reconstructing IP checksums node type
33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34.In netgraph/ng_checksum.h
35.Sh DESCRIPTION
36The
37.Nm checksum
38node can calculate, or prepare for calculation in hardware,
39IPv4 header, TCP and UDP checksums.
40.Sh HOOKS
41This node type has two hooks:
42.Bl -tag -width ".Va out"
43.It Va in
44Packets received on this hook are processed according to settings specified
45in config and then forwarded to the
46.Ar out
47hook, if it exists and is connected. Otherwise they are reflected back to the
48.Ar in
49hook.
50.It Va out
51Packets received on this hook are forwarded to the
52.Ar in
53hook without any changes.
54.El
55.Sh CONTROL MESSAGES
56This node type supports the generic control messages, plus the following:
57.Bl -tag -width foo
58.It Dv NGM_CHECKSUM_SETDLT Pq Ic setdlt
59Sets the data link type on the
60.Va in
61hook. Currently, supported types are
62.Cm DLT_RAW
63(raw IP datagrams) and
64.Cm DLT_EN10MB
65(Ethernet). DLT_ definitions can be found in the
66.In net/bpf.h
67header. Currently used values are
68.Cm DLT_EN10MB
69= 1 and
70.Cm DLT_RAW
71= 12.
72.It Dv NGM_CHECKSUM_GETDLT Pq Ic getdlt
73This control message obtains the data link type on the
74.Va in
75hook.
76.It Dv NGM_CHECKSUM_SETCONFIG Pq Ic setconfig
77Sets the node configuration. The following
78.Vt "struct ng_checksum_config"
79must be supplied as an argument:
80.Bd -literal -offset 4n
81struct ng_checksum_config {
82	uint64_t	csum_flags;
83	uint64_t	csum_offload;
84};
85.Ed
86.Pp
87The
88.Va csum_flags
89can be set to any combination of CSUM_IP, CSUM_TCP, CSUM_UDP, CSUM_TCP_IPV6 and CSUM_UDP_IPV6
90(other values are ignored) for instructing the node to calculate the corresponding checksum.
91.Pp
92The
93.Va csum_offload
94value can be set to any combination of CSUM_IP, CSUM_TCP, CSUM_UDP, CSUM_TCP_IPV6 and CSUM_UDP_IPV6
95(other values are ignored) for instructing the node what checksums should be requested from the hardware.
96.Pp
97The node also takes into account any combination of
98CSUM_IP, CSUM_TCP, CSUM_UDP, CSUM_TCP_IPV6 and CSUM_UDP_IPV6 already
99flagged on the mbuf.
100.It Dv NGM_CHECKSUM_GETCONFIG Pq Ic getconfig
101This control message obtains the current node configuration returned as a
102.Vt "struct ng_checksum_config" .
103.It Dv NGM_CHECKSUM_GET_STATS Pq Ic getstats
104Returns node statistics as a
105.Vt "struct ng_checksum_stats" .
106.It Dv NGM_CHECKSUM_CLR_STATS Pq Ic clrstats
107Clear the node statistics.
108.It Dv NGM_CHECKSUM_GETCLR_STATS Pq Ic getclrstats
109This command is identical to
110.Dv NGM_CHECKSUM_GET_STATS ,
111except that the statistics are also atomically cleared.
112.El
113.Sh SHUTDOWN
114This node shuts down upon receipt of a
115.Dv NGM_SHUTDOWN
116control message, or when all hooks have been disconnected.
117.Sh EXAMPLES
118.Xr ngctl 8
119script:
120.Bd -literal -offset 4n
121/usr/sbin/ngctl -f- <<-SEQ
122	msg checksum-1: setdlt 1
123	msg checksum-1: setconfig { csum_flags=0 csum_offload=6 }
124SEQ
125.Ed
126.Pp
127Set the data link type to
128.Cm DLT_EN10MB
129(Ethernet), do not set additional checksum flags
130and request that the hardware calculate CSUM_IP_UDP|CSUM_IP_TCP.

135.Sh HISTORY
136The
137.Nm
138node type was implemented in
139.Fx 10.2
140and first submitted in
