185 @constant IFNET_IPV6_FRAGMENT Hardware will fragment IPv6 packets.
186 @constant IFNET_VLAN_TAGGING Hardware will generate VLAN headers.
187 @constant IFNET_VLAN_MTU Hardware supports VLAN MTU.
188 @constant IFNET_MULTIPAGES Driver is capable of handling packets
189 coming down from the network stack that reside in virtually,
190 but not in physically contiguous span of the external mbuf
191 clusters. In this case, the data area of a packet in the
192 external mbuf cluster might cross one or more physical
193 pages that are disjoint, depending on the interface MTU
194 and the packet size. Such a use of larger than system page
195 size clusters by the network stack is done for better system
196 efficiency. Drivers that utilize the IOMbufNaturalMemoryCursor
197 with the getPhysicalSegmentsWithCoalesce interfaces and
198 enumerate the list of vectors should set this flag for
199 possible gain in performance during bulk data transfer.
200 @constant IFNET_TSO_IPV4 Hardware supports IPv4 TCP Segment Offloading.
201 If the Interface driver sets this flag, TCP will send larger frames (up to 64KB) as one
202 frame to the adapter which will perform the final packetization. The maximum TSO segment
203 supported by the interface can be set with "ifnet_set_tso_mtu". To retreive the real MTU
204 for the TCP connection the function "mbuf_get_tso_requested" is used by the driver. Note
205 that if TSO is active, all the packets will be flagged for TSO, not just large packets.
206 @constant IFNET_TSO_IPV6 Hardware supports IPv6 TCP Segment Offloading.
207 If the Interface driver sets this flag, TCP IPv6 will send larger frames (up to 64KB) as one
208 frame to the adapter which will perform the final packetization. The maximum TSO segment
209 supported by the interface can be set with "ifnet_set_tso_mtu". To retreive the real MTU
210 for the TCP IPv6 connection the function "mbuf_get_tso_requested" is used by the driver.
211 Note that if TSO is active, all the packets will be flagged for TSO, not just large packets.
212 @constant IFNET_TX_STATUS Driver supports returning a per packet
213 transmission status (pass, fail or other errors) of whether
214 the packet was successfully transmitted on the link, or the
215 transmission was aborted, or transmission failed.

1154 @struct ifnet_demux_desc
1155 @discussion This structure is to identify packets that belong to a
1156 specific protocol. The types supported are interface specific.
1157 Ethernet supports ETHER_DESC_ETYPE2, ETHER_DESC_SAP, and
1158 ETHER_DESC_SNAP. The type defines the offset in the packet where
1159 the data will be matched as well as context. For example, if
1160 ETHER_DESC_SNAP is specified, the only valid datalen is 5 and
1161 only in the 5 bytes will only be matched when the packet header
1162 indicates that the packet is a SNAP packet.
1163 @field type The type of identifier data (i.e. ETHER_DESC_ETYPE2)
1164 @field data A pointer to an entry of type (i.e. pointer to 0x0800).

1226 @function ifnet_allocate
1227 @discussion Allocate an ifnet_t with an initial refcount of 1. Many
1228 parts of the stack do not properly refcount the ifnet_t. In
1229 order to avoid freeing the ifnet_t while some parts of the stack
1230 may contain a reference to it, the ifnet_ts are only recycled,
1231 never freed. A unique id is used to try and recycle the same
1232 ifnet_t when allocating an interface. For example, for an
1233 ethernet interface, the hardware address of the ethernet card is
1234 usually used for the uniqueid. If a PC Card is removed and
1235 inserted again, if the ethernet address of the PC card is used,
1236 the same ifnet_t will be used for the card the second time it is
1237 inserted. In the future, when the ifnet_t is correctly
1238 refcounted by all of the stack, the interfaces may be freed and
1239 the unique ids ignored.

1543 being less than the high watermark value.

3392 @struct ifnet_keepalive_offload_frame
3393 @discussion This structure is used to define various opportunistic
3394 polling parameters for an interface.
3395 For IPSec and AirPlay UDP keep alive only a subset of the
3396 fields are relevant.
3397 An incoming TCP keep alive probe has the sequence number
3398 in the TCP header equal to "remote_seq" and the
3399 acknowledgment number field is equal to "local_seq".
3400 An incoming TCP keep alive probe has the sequence number
3401 equlal to "remote_seq" minus 1 and the acknowledgment number
3402 field is equal to "local_seq".
3403 Note that remote_seq is in network byte order so the value to
3404 match may have to be converted to host byte order when
3406 For TCP, the field "interval" corresponds to the socket option
3407 TCP_KEEPALIVE, the field "keep_cnt" to TCP_KEEPINTVL and
3408 the field "keep_cnt" to TCP_KEEPCNT.
3409 @field data Keep alive probe to be sent.
3410 @field type The type of keep alive frame
3411 @field length The length of the frame in the data field
3412 @field interval Keep alive interval between probes in seconds
