IF_ATMARP(7M)IF_ATMARP(7M)NAMEif_atmarp - Fore IP and SPANS compliant TCP/IP driver for SGI ATM
interfaces.
DESCRIPTION
This software driver implements the kernel portion of the SPANS (Simple
Protocol for ATM Network protocol (Note: Origin and Onyx2 are the only
IRIS ATM platforms which support SPANS). SPANS is a signaling protocol
that was designed at Fore Systems prior to the existance of standard ATM
signaling protocols.
The mapping between IP address and virtual circuit are kept in an ATMARP
table in the kernel. The size of this table (in number of entries) is
1024 by default. If a larger table is needed, the size of the table can
be specified by the value assigned in atmarp_entries in the if_atmarp
master file in the /var/sysgen/master.d directory. The size of this table
should be kept to a reasonable size because it takes up kernel memory.
The table should be large enough to hold the maximum number of concurrent
connections (remote hosts).
