atmarp - administer classical IP over ATM connections

       Werner Almesberger, EPFL ICA <Werner.Almesberger@epfl.ch>

atmarp  is  used  to maintain the ATMARP table of the ATMARP demon.  The table can be listed, new PVC and
       SVC entries can be added, and existing entries can be deleted. In addition to that, atmarp is  also  used
       to create new IP over ATM interfaces.

       Note  that  the  kernel  has  its  own  ATMARP  table containing only entries for destinations to which a
       connection exists. The table of atmarpd can also contain currently unused entries.

       atmarp - administer classical IP over ATM connections

-a     list the current ATMARP table.

       -c     create the specified IP interface. If the  interface  number  is  omitted,  the  operating  system
              assigns  the  next  free  number  and  atmarp prints the resulting interface name (e.g. `atm0') on
              standard output.

       -q     sets the QOS and the send buffer size to use as the default for all  VCs  generated  for  that  IP
              network (ip_addr must be the address of the network).

       -s     set up a PVC or create an SVC entry. The following options are recognized:

              qosqos
                     uses  the  specified  quality  of service (see qos(7) for the syntax). UBR at link speed is
                     used by default.

              sndbufbytes
                     tries to set the send buffer to the specified number of bytes. A system  default  value  is
                     used if sndbuf is not specified.

              temp   does not mark the entry as permanent, i.e. it will time out and then be removed.

              pub    publishes  the  entry  (only  relevant  for ATMARP server). ATMARP requests for entries not
                     marked for publishing yield an ATMARP_NAK response.

              null   uses NULL encapsulation instead of LLC/SNAP encapsulation on the PVC. This  option  is  not
                     available  for  SVCs,  because  the LLC/SNAP header is required to identify ATMARP packets.
                     null also implies that the entry is permanent.

              arpsrv identifies the entry pointing to the ATMARP server. Note that the node acting as the ATMARP
                     server must have no ATMARP server entry in its ATMARP table.

       -d     delete the specified ARP entry.  In order to prevent accidental  deletion  of  the  ATMARP  server
              entry, the arpsrv flag must be specified when deleting it.

       -V     print the version number of atmarp on standard output and exit.
