IP over IEEE1394 driver
The fwip
driver provides standard IP over IEEE1394 based
on the protocols described in RFC 2734 and RFC 3146.
The
ieee1394if(4) and
fwohci(4) drivers must be
configured in the kernel as well.
The fwip
device driver first appeared in
FreeBSD 5.3. It was added to NetBSD
4.0.
The fwip
driver and this manual page were written by
Doug Rabson, based on earlier work by
Hidetoshi Shimokawa. It was added to
NetBSD 4.0 by KIYOHARA
Takashi.
This driver currently does not support the MCAP protocol for multicast IP over
IEEE1394. Multicast packets are treated as broadcast packets which is
sufficient for most trivial uses of multicast.
