NAME

       ng_ip_input — netgraph IP input node type

SYNOPSIS

       #include <netgraph/ng_ip_input.h>

DESCRIPTION

       The  ip_input  node  type  takes  all  received  packets  and queues them into the IP in input processing
       subsystem.

HOOKS

       An ng_ip_input node accepts any request to connect, regardless of the hook name, as long as the  name  is
       unique.

CONTROL MESSAGES

       This  node  type  supports  only  the  generic  control  messages.   Other  control messages are silently
       discarded.

SHUTDOWN

       This node shuts down upon receipt of a  NGM_SHUTDOWN  control  message,  or  when  all  hooks  have  been
       disconnected.
