     ng_gif_demux -- demultiplexer for packets from ng_gif(4) nodes

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     #include <netgraph/ng_gif_demux.h>

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

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

     The gif hook is meant to be connected to the lower or orphans hook of an
     ng_gif(4) 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.
