mkethcon - create LINX Ethernet connections.
mkethcon [OPTIONS]
<connection>
Create a LINX Ethernet connection to a remote node.
- -h, --help
- Display help and exit.
- Mandatory options
-
- -m, --mac=MAC address
- Specify
the remote MAC address of the node to connect to, e.g. 0a:1b:2c:3d:4d:5e.
- -i, --if=interface
- Specify the Ethernet interface to use, e.g. eth0.
- Optional
options
-
- --window_size=nnn
- This is the send/receive window_size, in number
of packets on the link, and may need to be modified to adapt LINX to really
slow or really fast Ethernet performance.
Both the local and remote side negotiate the window size, being the smallest
of the two sizes the selected one. The default 128 messages should be sufficient
in most configurations. The window size shall always be of a power of 2.
Size 0 means to use the default window size.
- --defer_queue_size=nnn
- The defer
queue size is in packages, with the size depending on the LINX link. The
defer queue is used on the sender side when the send queue is full. Every
message sent, when the send queue is full, is stored in the defer queue,
until the send queue has room for more messages. The defer queue size is
the maximum number of packages, with messages, that can be stored in the
defer queue before the link is disconnected, due to lack or resources. The
default value 2048 packages should be sufficient in most systems. Size 0
means to use the default defer queue size.
- --conn_tmo=nnn
- The connect timeout
specifies the time, in milliseconds, to wait until a connection attempt
fails and a new attempt is made. Once connected, it is used as a supervision
time-out, i.e. every conn_tmo/3 milliseconds, LINX checks if any packets from
the peer has been received. LINX disconnects the connection after four consequtive
conn_tmo/3 timeout periods without any packets from the peer. Tmo 0 means
to use the default timeout (1000ms).
- --coreid=nn
- The coreid is used in a multicore
environment to configure the destination coreid.
- --mtu=nnn
- The MTU (Maximum
Transmission Unit) specifies the size in bytes of the largets packet that
the Ethernet protocol can pass onwards (this excludes the size of the Ethernet
header). If not set the MTU is fetched from the interface. Typcially a MTU
of 1500 bytes is used for Ethernet.
None.
