.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm nsip
|
|
.Nd software network interface encapsulating NS packets in IP packets
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Cd options NSIP
|
|
.Fd #include <netns/ns_if.h>
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm nsip
|
|
interface is a software mechanism which may be
|
|
used to transmit Xerox
|
|
.Tn NS Ns (tm)
|
|
packets through otherwise uncooperative
|
|
networks.
|
|
It functions by prepending an
|
|
.Tn IP
|
|
header, and resubmitting the packet
|
|
through the
|
|
.Tn UNIX
|
|
.Tn IP
|
|
machinery.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The super-user can advise the operating system of a willing partner
|
|
by naming an
|
|
.Tn IP
|
|
address to be associated with an
|
|
.Tn NS
|
|
address.
|
|
Presently, only specific hosts pairs are allowed, and for each host
|
|
pair, an artificial point-to-point interface is constructed.
|
|
At some future date,
|
|
.Tn IP
|
|
broadcast addresses or hosts may be paired
|
|
with
|
|
.Tn NS
|
|
networks or hosts.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Specifically, a socket option of
|
|
.Dv SO_NSIP_ROUTE
|
|
is set on a socket
|
|
of family
|
|
.Dv AF_NS ,
|
|
type
|
|
.Dv SOCK_DGRAM ,
|
|
passing the following structure:
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
struct nsip_req {
|
|
struct sockaddr rq_ns; /* must be ns format destination */
|
|
struct sockaddr rq_ip; /* must be ip format gateway */
|
|
short rq_flags;
|
|
};
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
.Bl -diag
|
|
.It nsip%d: can't handle af%d.
|
|
The interface was handed
|
|
a message with addresses formatted in an unsuitable address
|
|
family; the packet was dropped.

|
|
.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
interface appeared in
|
|
.Bx 4.3 .
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
It is absurd to have a separate pseudo-device for each pt-to-pt
|
|
link.
|
|
There is no way to change the
|
|
.Tn IP
|
|
address for an
|
|
.Tn NS
|
|
host once the
|
|
encapsulation interface is set up.
|
|
The request should honor flags of
|
|
.Dv RTF_GATEWAY
|
|
to indicate
|
|
remote networks, and the absence of
|
|
.Dv RTF_UP
|
|
should be a clue
|
|
to remove that partner.
|
|
This was intended to postpone the necessity of rewriting reverse
|
|
.Tn ARP
|
|
for the
|
|
.Xr en 4
|
|
device, and to allow passing
|
|
.Tn XNS
|
|
packets through an
|
|
Arpanet-Milnet gateway, to facilitate testing between some co-operating
|
|
universities.
