/* dummy.c: a dummy net driver |
|
|
|
The purpose of this driver is to provide a device to point a |
|
route through, but not to actually transmit packets. |
|
|
|
Why? If you have a machine whose only connection is an occasional |
|
PPP/SLIP/PLIP link, you can only connect to your own hostname |
|
when the link is up. Otherwise you have to use localhost. |
|
This isn't very consistent. |
|
|
|
One solution is to set up a dummy link using PPP/SLIP/PLIP, |
|
but this seems (to me) too much overhead for too little gain. |
|
This driver provides a small alternative. Thus you can do |
|
|
|
[when not running slip] |
|
ifconfig dummy slip.addr.ess.here up |
|
[to go to slip] |
|
ifconfig dummy down |
|
dip whatever |
|
|
|
This was written by looking at Donald Becker's skeleton driver |
|
and the loopback driver. I then threw away anything that didn't |
|
apply! Thanks to Alan Cox for the key clue on what to do with |
|
misguided packets. |
