Whistle's Netgraph link-layer (sometimes more) networking infrastructure.

Been in production for 3 years now. Gives Instant Frame relay to if_sr
and if_ar drivers, and PPPOE support soon. See:

for on-line manual pages.

+.Sh NAME
+.Nm ng_rfc1490
+.Nd RFC 1490 netgraph node type
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Fd #include <netgraph/ng_rfc1490.h>
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm rfc1490
+node type performs protocol encapsulation, de-encapsulation, and
+multiplexing according to RFC 1490 (which has since been updated by RFC 2427).
+This particular type of encapsulation is often used on top of frame relay
+DLCI channels.
+.Pp
+The
+.Dv downstream
+hook is used to transmit and receive encapsulated frames. On the other
+side of the node, the
+.Dv inet
+and
+.Dv ppp
+hooks are used to transmit and receive raw IP frames and PPP frames,
+respectively. PPP frames are transmitted and received according to
+RFC 1973; in particular, frames appearing on the
+.Dv ppp
+hook begin with the PPP protocol number.
+.Pp
+Typically the
+.Dv inet
+hook is connected to the
+.Dv inet
+hook of an
+.Xr ng_iface 8
+node.
+.Sh HOOKS
+This node type supports the following hooks:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width foobarbazum
+.It Dv downstream
+Connects to the RFC 1490 peer entity.
+.It Dv inet
+Transmits and receives raw IP frames.
+.It Dv ppp
+Transmits and receives PPP frames.
+.El
+.Sh CONTROL MESSAGES
+This node type only supports the generic control messages.
+.Sh SHUTDOWN
+This node shuts down upon receipt of a
+.Dv NGM_SHUTDOWN
+control message, or when all hooks have been disconnected.
+.Sh BUGS
+Not all of RFC 1490 is implemented.
