+<h1>Ethernet Convergence Layer
+</h1>
+
+<p>
+The EthConvergenceLayer provides access to any ethernet interfaces that
+support RAW sockets. It periodically sends beacons out on each interface
+to support neighbor discovery. (this may change later). To add an ethernet
+interface in your config file, use:
+
+
+<p>
+Syntax: <tt>interface add string://<i>interface</i> <i>CL</i> [<i>arg=val arg=val2 argN=valN...</i>]</tt>
+<p>Example: <tt>interface add string://eth0 eth beacon_interval=1</tt>
+<p>Valid arguments for <tt><i>arg</i></tt> are:
+<p>
+<table>
+<tr>
+<th>arg
+<th>Possible settings
+<th>Default
+<th>Comments
+
+<tr>
+<td><tt>beacon_interval</tt>
+<td>number (seconds)
+<td>1
+<td>The Ethernet discovery beacon
+</table>
+<p> <b>Note</b>
+<p>link next hop parameter <i>next hop</i> must be set to an Ethernet hardware Address
+<p>Theoretically, any router type should work.
+<p>Beacons timeout every 2.5 seconds by default
+<p>The max size for and Ethernet packet is 1518 bytes
+<p>The maximum bundle size is s that of the UDP datagram (65507 bytes)
