41.Sh NAME
42.Nm ng_rfc1490
43.Nd RFC 1490 netgraph node type
44.Sh SYNOPSIS
45.In netgraph/ng_rfc1490.h
46.Sh DESCRIPTION
47The
48.Nm rfc1490
49node type performs protocol encapsulation, de-encapsulation, and
50multiplexing according to RFC 1490 (which has since been updated by RFC 2427).
51This particular type of encapsulation is often used on top of frame relay
52DLCI channels.
53.Pp
54The
55.Dv downstream
56hook is used to transmit and receive encapsulated frames. On the other
57side of the node, the
58.Dv inet
59and
60.Dv ppp
61hooks are used to transmit and receive raw IP frames and PPP frames,
62respectively. PPP frames are transmitted and received according to
63RFC 1973; in particular, frames appearing on the
64.Dv ppp
65hook begin with the PPP protocol number.
66.Pp
67Typically the
68.Dv inet
69hook is connected to the
70.Dv inet
71hook of an
72.Xr ng_iface 4
73node.
74.Sh HOOKS
75This node type supports the following hooks:
76.Pp
77.Bl -tag -width foobarbazum
78.It Dv downstream
79Connects to the RFC 1490 peer entity.
80.It Dv inet
81Transmits and receives raw IP frames.
82.It Dv ppp
83Transmits and receives PPP frames.
84.El
85.Sh CONTROL MESSAGES
86This node type only supports the generic control messages.
87.Sh SHUTDOWN
88This node shuts down upon receipt of a
89.Dv NGM_SHUTDOWN
90control message, or when all hooks have been disconnected.
91.Sh BUGS
92Not all of RFC 1490 is implemented.
