7bidi.c A quick-and-dirty hack that allows you to 'connect'
8 multiple file descriptors together (everything
9 received on one fd will be sent out to all the other
10 fds). Works great for tying ethertaps together (for
11 testing stp protocol interaction et al.).
12
13 The command-line arguments are the names of the
14 ethertaps to be connected together.

16
17tap.c Another quick-and-dirty hack which will let you
18 connect different machine's ethertaps together over
19 the network. This program works over raw IP, protocol
20 number 97. RFC 1700 lists IP proto 97 as ethernet
21 encapsulation; I have never seen the standard for
22 this, I'm just guessing at the encapsulation being
23 performed. So this program is potentially in violation
24 of a standard; USE ONLY FOR TESTING!
25
26 The first command-line argument is the name of the
27 ethertap to use, the following command-line arguments
28 are the hostnames of the machines to forward frames
29 to.
