    11 The EthConvergenceLayer provides access to any ethernet interfaces that
       
    12 support RAW sockets. It periodically sends beacons out on each interface 
       
    13 to support neighbor discovery. (this may change later). To add an ethernet 
       
    14 interface in your config file, use:

    18 Syntax:	<tt>interface add string://<i>interface</i> <i>CL</i> [<i>arg=val arg=val2 argN=valN...</i>]</tt>
       
    19 <p>Example: <tt>interface add string://eth0 eth beacon_interval=1</tt>
       
    20 <p>Valid arguments for <tt><i>arg</i></tt> are:

    35 <p> <b>Note</b>
       
    36 <p>link next hop parameter <i>next hop</i> must be set to an Ethernet hardware Address
       
    37 <p>Theoretically, any router type should work.
       
    38 <p>Beacons timeout every 2.5 seconds by default 
       
    39 <p>The max size for and Ethernet packet is 1518 bytes
       
    40 <p>The maximum bundle size is s that of the UDP datagram (65507 bytes)
