idt(4)
NAME
idt - device driver for IDT NICStAR-based ATM interfaces
SYNOPSIS
device idt device atm
DESCRIPTION
- The idt device driver supports ATM network interfaces based
- on the IDT
NICStAR 77211 controller, including the FORE Systems Fore - Runner LE25 and
LE155. For configuring the card for IP see natmip(4). - ATM CBR connections are supported, and bandwidth is allocat
- ed in slots of
64k each. Three VBR queues handle traffic for VBR and UBR. - Two UBR
queues prioritize UBR traffic. ILMI and signalling get the - higher priority queue, as well as UBR traffic that specifies a peak cell
- rate. All
other UBR traffic goes into the lower queue. - The following sysctls are recognized by the driver:
- hw.idt.log_bufstat
- Print statistics about buffer use to the system log
- periodically.
- hw.idt.log_vcs
- Print information about VC opens, closes, and other
- events to the
system log. - hw.idt.bufs_large
- Set or print the maximum size of the 2KB buffer
- queue.
- hw.idt.bufs_small
- Set or print the maximum size of the mbuf queue.
- hw.idt.cur_large
- Print the current size of the 2KB buffer queue.
- hw.idt.cur_small
- Print the current size of the mbuf queue.
- hw.idt.qptr_hold
- Optimize the TX queue buffer for lowest overhead.
