The EthConvergenceLayer provides access to any ethernet interfaces that support RAW sockets. It periodically sends beacons out on each interface to support neighbor discovery. (this may change later). To add an ethernet interface in your config file, use:
Syntax: interface add string://interface CL [arg=val arg=val2 argN=valN...]
Example: interface add string://eth0 eth beacon_interval=1
Valid arguments for arg are:
arg | Possible settings | Default | Comments |
---|---|---|---|
beacon_interval | number (seconds) | 1 | The Ethernet discovery beacon |
Note
link next hop parameter next hop must be set to an Ethernet hardware Address
Theoretically, any router type should work.
Beacons timeout every 2.5 seconds by default
The max size for and Ethernet packet is 1518 bytes
The maximum bundle size is s that of the UDP datagram (65507 bytes)
