|
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: |
|
15 |
|
16 |
|
17 <p> |
|
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: |
|
21 <p> |
|
22 <table> |
|
23 <tr> |
|
24 <th>arg |
|
25 <th>Possible settings |
|
26 <th>Default |
|
27 <th>Comments |
|
28 |
|
29 <tr> |
|
30 <td><tt>beacon_interval</tt> |
|
31 <td>number (seconds) |
|
32 <td>1 |
|
33 <td>The Ethernet discovery beacon |
|
34 </table> |
|
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) |
