ng_hub —
packet
distribution netgraph node type
#include
<netgraph/ng_hub.h>
The
hub node type provides a simple mechanism for
distributing packets over several links. Packets received on any of the hooks
are forwarded out the other hooks. Packets are not altered in any way.
A
hub node accepts any request to connect,
regardless of the hook name, as long as the name is unique.
This node type supports the generic control messages, plus the following:
-
NGM_HUB_SET_PERSISTENT
(setpersistent)
- This command sets the persistent flag on the node, and
takes no arguments.
This node shuts down upon receipt of a
NGM_SHUTDOWN control message, or when all
hooks have been disconnected. Setting the persistent flag via a
NGM_HUB_SET_PERSISTENT control message
disables automatic node shutdown when the last hook gets disconnected.
