Works great for tying ethertaps together (for + testing stp protocol interaction et al.). + + The command-line arguments are the names of the + ethertaps to be connected together. + + +tap.c Another quick-and-dirty hack which will let you + connect different machine's ethertaps together over + the network. This program works over raw IP, protocol + number 97. RFC 1700 lists IP proto 97 as ethernet + encapsulation; I have never seen the standard for + this, I'm just guessing at the encapsulation being + performed. So this program is potentially in violation + of a standard; USE ONLY FOR TESTING! + + The first command-line argument is the name of the + ethertap to use, the following command-line arguments + are the hostnames of the machines to forward frames + to. |
