fatm(4)

NAME

fatm - device driver for Fore PCA200E ATM interfaces

SYNOPSIS

device fatm
device utopia
device atm
options NATM

DESCRIPTION

The fatm device driver supports the FORE (now Marconi)
PCA200E ATM interface cards. The driver interfaces with the natm(4) frame
work,
netgraph(4) and HARP. It provides only PVC services. Sig
nalling,
ATMARP, ILMI and other higher layer protocols are implement
ed using
netgraph(4) or HARP.
For configuring the card for IP see natmip(4). The follow
ing sysctls are
recognized by the driver additionally to those handled by
utopia(4):
hw.atm.fatmN.stats
Returns a device specific statistic list of uint32_t
statistic
counters.
hw.atm.fatmN.istats
Returns a list of uint32_t with internal driver
statistics.
hw.atm.fatmN.retry_tx
If this is set packets are stuffed back into the in
terface's send
queue when the cards transmit queue is found to be
full. They
are transmitted later. If this is not set the pack
ets are
dropped. It may be useful to set this if only UBR
traffic is
sent.
hw.atm.fatmN.debug
(Only if debugging enabled.) These are debugging
flags. See
src/sys/dev/fatm/if_fatmvar.h for the possible
flags.
The driver supports the media options sdh, noscramb and
unassigned (see
utopia(4)).

BUGS

These cards can CBR shape a single VCC only. It is current
ly possible to
request more than one CBR connection. In this case all the
timing will
be wrong. See hatm(4) for a better card.
