NG_TEE(4)		    Kernel Interfaces Manual		     NG_TEE(4)

NAME
       ng_tee -- netgraph ``tee'' node type

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<sys/types.h>
       #include	<netgraph/ng_tee.h>

DESCRIPTION
       The  tee	 node  type  has a purpose similar to the tee(1) command.  Tee
       nodes are useful	for debugging or "snooping" on	a  connection  between
       two   netgraph	nodes.	 Tee  nodes  have  four	 hooks,	 right,	 left,
       right2left, and left2right.  All	data received on right is sent unmodi-
       fied to both hooks left and right2left.	Similarly, all	data  received
       on left is sent unmodified to both right	and left2right.

       Packets	may also be received on	right2left and left2right; if so, they
       are forwarded unchanged out hooks right and left, respectively.

HOOKS
       This node type supports the following hooks:

       right	   The connection to the node on the right.

       left	   The connection to the node on the left.

       right2left  Tap for right to left traffic.

       left2right  Tap for left	to right traffic.

CONTROL	MESSAGES
       This node type supports the generic control messages, plus the  follow-
       ing.

       NGM_TEE_GET_STATS (getstats)
	    Get	statistics, returned as	a struct ng_tee_stats.

       NGM_TEE_CLR_STATS (clrstats)
	    Clear statistics.

SHUTDOWN
       This  node  shuts down upon receipt of an NGM_SHUTDOWN control message,
       or when all hooks have been disconnected.  If both right	and left hooks
       are present, node removes itself	 from  the  chain  gently,  connecting
       right and left together.

SEE ALSO
       tee(1), netgraph(4), ngctl(8)

HISTORY
       The ng_tee node type was	implemented in FreeBSD 4.0.
