iflib —
Network
Interface Driver Framework
iflib is a framework for writing network interface
drivers for FreeBSD. It is designed to remove a large amount of the
boilerplate that is often needed for modern network interface devices,
allowing driver authors to focus on the specific code needed for their
hardware.
There are three logical components to
iflib each of
which is described in its own manual page. These are:
- iflibdi(9)
- Device-independent functions, used to integrate
iflib into the rest of the
FreeBSD networking stack.
- iflibdd(9)
- Device-dependent functions, used when writing new
iflib based drivers.
- iflibtxrx(9)
- Device-dependent transmit and receive functions, used when
writing new iflib based drivers.
