From 9ca8dbcc65cfc63d6f5ef3312a33184e1d726e00 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yunhong Jiang Date: Tue, 4 Aug 2015 12:17:53 -0700 Subject: Add the rt linux 4.1.3-rt3 as base Import the rt linux 4.1.3-rt3 as OPNFV kvm base. It's from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-rt-devel.git linux-4.1.y-rt and the base is: commit 0917f823c59692d751951bf5ea699a2d1e2f26a2 Author: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior Date: Sat Jul 25 12:13:34 2015 +0200 Prepare v4.1.3-rt3 Signed-off-by: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior We lose all the git history this way and it's not good. We should apply another opnfv project repo in future.

The upper layer implements RFC1490 FR specification, and uses the +Data Link Connection Identifier (DLCI) as its hardware address. Usually these +are assigned by your network supplier, they give you the number/numbers of +the Virtual Connections (VC) assigned to you. + +Each DLCI is a point-to-point link between your machine and a remote one. +As such, a separate device is needed to accommodate the routing. Within the +net-tools archives is 'dlcicfg'. This program will communicate with the +base "DLCI" device, and create new net devices named 'dlci00', 'dlci01'... +The configuration script will ask you how many DLCIs you need, as well as +how many DLCIs you want to assign to each Frame Relay Access Device (FRAD). + +The DLCI uses a number of function calls to communicate with the FRAD, all +of which are stored in the FRAD's private data area. assoc/deassoc, +activate/deactivate and dlci_config. The DLCI supplies a receive function +to the FRAD to accept incoming packets. + +With this initial offering, only 1 FRAD driver is available. With many thanks +to Sangoma Technologies, David Mandelstam & Gene Kozin, the S502A, S502E & +S508 are supported. This driver is currently set up for only FR, but as +Sangoma makes more firmware modules available, it can be updated to provide +them as well. + +Configuration of the FRAD makes use of another net-tools program, 'fradcfg'. +This program makes use of a configuration file (which dlcicfg can also read) +to specify the types of boards to be configured as FRADs, as well as perform +any board specific configuration. The Sangoma module of fradcfg loads the +FR firmware into the card, sets the irq/port/memory information, and provides +an initial configuration. + +Additional FRAD device drivers can be added as hardware is available. + +At this time, the dlcicfg and fradcfg programs have not been incorporated into +the net-tools distribution. They can be found at ftp.invlogic.com, in +/pub/linux. Note that with OS/2 FTPD, you end up in /pub by default, so just +use 'cd linux'. v0.10 is for use on pre-2.0.3 and earlier, v0.15 is for +pre-2.0.4 and later. + -- cgit 1.2.3-korg
