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.
48Otherwise they are reflected back to the
49.Ar in
50hook.
51.It Va out
52Packets received on this hook are forwarded to the
53.Ar in
54hook without any changes.
55.El
56.Sh CONTROL MESSAGES
57This node type supports the generic control messages, plus the following:
58.Bl -tag -width foo
59.It Dv NGM_CHECKSUM_SETDLT Pq Ic setdlt
60Sets the data link type on the
61.Va in
62hook.
63Currently, supported types are
64.Cm DLT_RAW
65(raw IP datagrams) and
66.Cm DLT_EN10MB
67(Ethernet). DLT_ definitions can be found in the
68.In net/bpf.h
69header.
70Currently used values are
71.Cm DLT_EN10MB
72= 1 and
73.Cm DLT_RAW
74= 12.
75.It Dv NGM_CHECKSUM_GETDLT Pq Ic getdlt
76This control message obtains the data link type on the
77.Va in
78hook.
79.It Dv NGM_CHECKSUM_SETCONFIG Pq Ic setconfig
80Sets the node configuration.
81The following
82.Vt "struct ng_checksum_config"
83must be supplied as an argument:
84.Bd -literal -offset 4n
85struct ng_checksum_config {
86	uint64_t	csum_flags;
87	uint64_t	csum_offload;
88};
89.Ed
90.Pp
91The
92.Va csum_flags
93can be set to any combination of CSUM_IP, CSUM_TCP, CSUM_UDP, CSUM_TCP_IPV6 and CSUM_UDP_IPV6
94(other values are ignored) for instructing the node to calculate the corresponding checksum.
95.Pp
96The
97.Va csum_offload
98value can be set to any combination of CSUM_IP, CSUM_TCP, CSUM_UDP, CSUM_TCP_IPV6 and CSUM_UDP_IPV6
99(other values are ignored) for instructing the node what checksums should be requested from the hardware.
100.Pp
101The node also takes into account any combination of
102CSUM_IP, CSUM_TCP, CSUM_UDP, CSUM_TCP_IPV6 and CSUM_UDP_IPV6 already
103flagged on the mbuf.
104.It Dv NGM_CHECKSUM_GETCONFIG Pq Ic getconfig
105This control message obtains the current node configuration returned as a
106.Vt "struct ng_checksum_config" .
107.It Dv NGM_CHECKSUM_GET_STATS Pq Ic getstats
108Returns node statistics as a
109.Vt "struct ng_checksum_stats" .
110.It Dv NGM_CHECKSUM_CLR_STATS Pq Ic clrstats
111Clear the node statistics.
112.It Dv NGM_CHECKSUM_GETCLR_STATS Pq Ic getclrstats
113This command is identical to
114.Dv NGM_CHECKSUM_GET_STATS ,
115except that the statistics are also atomically cleared.
116.El
117.Sh SHUTDOWN
118This node shuts down upon receipt of a
119.Dv NGM_SHUTDOWN
120control message, or when all hooks have been disconnected.
121.Sh EXAMPLES
122.Xr ngctl 8
123script:
124.Bd -literal -offset 4n
125/usr/sbin/ngctl -f- <<-SEQ
126	msg checksum-1: setdlt 1
127	msg checksum-1: setconfig { csum_flags=0 csum_offload=6 }
128SEQ
129.Ed
130.Pp
131Set the data link type to
132.Cm DLT_EN10MB
133(Ethernet), do not set additional checksum flags
134and request that the hardware calculate CSUM_IP_UDP|CSUM_IP_TCP.

139.Sh HISTORY
140The
141.Nm
142node type was implemented in
143.Fx 10.2
144and first submitted in
