+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: + + +
+Syntax: interface add string://interface CL [arg=val arg=val2 argN=valN...] +
Example: interface add string://eth0 eth beacon_interval=1 +
Valid arguments for arg are: +
+
| arg + | Possible settings + | Default + | Comments + + |
|---|---|---|---|
| beacon_interval + | number (seconds) + | 1 + | The Ethernet discovery beacon + |
Note +
link next hop parameter next hop must be set to an Ethernet hardware Address +
Theoretically, any router type should work. +
Beacons timeout every 2.5 seconds by default +
The max size for and Ethernet packet is 1518 bytes +
The maximum bundle size is s that of the UDP datagram (65507 bytes) + + + +
