+.Sh NAME
+.Nm ng_frame_relay
+.Nd frame relay netgraph node type
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In netgraph/ng_frame_relay.h
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm frame_relay
+node type performs encapsulation, de-encapsulation, and multiplexing
+of packets using the frame relay protocol.
+It supports up to 1024 DLCI's.
+The LMI protocol is handled by a separate node type (see
+.Xr ng_lmi 4 ) .
+.Pp
+The
+.Dv downstream
+hook should be connected to the synchronous line, i.e., the switch.
+Then hooks
+.Dv dlci0 ,
+.Dv dlci1 ,
+through
+.Dv dlci1023
+are available to connect to each of the DLCI channels.
+.Sh HOOKS
+This node type supports the following hooks:
+.Bl -tag -width ".Va downstream"
+.It Va downstream
+The connection to the synchronous line.
+.It Va dlciX
+Here X is a decimal number from 0 to 1023.
+This hook corresponds
+to the DLCI X frame relay virtual channel.
+.El
+.Sh CONTROL MESSAGES
+This node type supports only 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 SEE ALSO
+.Xr netgraph 4 ,
+.Xr ng_lmi 4 ,
+.Xr ngctl 8
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+node type was implemented in
+.Fx 4.0 .
+.Sh AUTHORS
+.An Julian Elischer Aq julian@FreeBSD.org
+.Sh BUGS
+Technically, frames on DLCI X should not be transmitted to the switch
+until the LMI protocol entity on both ends has configured DLCI X as active.
+The
+.Nm
+node type ignores this restriction, and will always pass data received
+on a DLCI hook to
+.Dv downstream .
+Instead, it should query the LMI node first.
