NAME

ng_gif_demux - demultiplexer for packets from ng_gif4 nodes

SYNOPSIS

In netgraph/ng_gif_demux.h

DESCRIPTION

The netgraph node type demultiplexes the output from ng_gif4 nodes in the netgraph(4) networking subsystem.

The gif hook is meant to be connected to the lower or orphans hook of an ng_gif4 node. The inet , inet6 , atalk , ipx , atm , natm and ns hooks output frames of the given type when they are received on the gif hook. When a frame is received on one of these hooks, it is encapsulated and sent out the gif hook.
