ng_ether_echo — netgraph ether_echo node type
Contents
Control Messages
This node type supports only the generic control messages. Any other control messages are reflected back
to the sender.
Description
The ether_echo node type reflects all data and control messages back to the sender. It assumes (and does
not check) that the packet is an ethernet frame, and swaps the source and destination addresses before
echoing it. This node type is used for testing and debugging.
History
The ng_ether_echo node type was implemented in FreeBSD 8.0.
Hooks
A ether_echo node accepts any request to connect, regardless of the hook name, as long as the name is
unique.

disconnected.
