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 received
     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.

SEE ALSO
     netgraph(4), ngctl(8)

HISTORY
     The ng_UI node type was implemented in FreeBSD 4.0.
