NG_UI(4)		    Kernel Interfaces Manual		      NG_UI(4)

NAME
       ng_UI --	UI netgraph node type

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<netgraph/ng_UI.h>

DESCRIPTION
       The  UI	node type has two hooks, upstream and downstream.  Packets re-
       ceived on downstream must have 0x03 (indicating unnumbered information)
       as their	first byte; if not the packet is dropped.  This	byte  is  then
       stripped	and the	remainder of the packet	sent out on upstream.

       Conversely,  packets  received  on  upstream  will  have	 a  0x03  byte
       prepended to them before	being forwarded	out on the downstream hook.

HOOKS
       This node type supports the following hooks:

       downstream  Downstream connection.  Packets on this side	 of  the  node
		   have	a 0x03 as their	first byte.

       upstream	   Upstream connection.	 Packets on this side of the node have
		   the initial 0x03 byte stripped off.

CONTROL	MESSAGES
       This node type supports only the	generic	control	messages.

SHUTDOWN
       This node shuts down upon receipt of a NGM_SHUTDOWN control message, or
       when both hooks have been disconnected.
