Hi,

I am trying to replace the tun interface using netgraph by linking ng_device and ng_iface:

ngctl mkpeer iface dummy inet
ngctl mkpeer ng0: device inet inet

then I try to use it as a drop-in replacement for tun, but it doesn't really work:

1. If I send an IP packet through /dev/ngd0 (after doing a normal open()), the packet doesn't get sent until I write a second packet to the device.

Do you know it the ng-device device is hanging onto it, or the ng_iface device is getting it but not passing it on?

If you don't know, you can put a 'tee' node between them
and use nghook(8) to see when the packet is passed between the nodes.


2. If i route packets to ng0: it works even worse, with very long and strange delays.

once again.. please use a TEE node to isolate the delays..


I can do the same with tun and it works fine. I also tried using the netgraph user library to open a socket, and this works too (but I can't use it since the performance is very poor).
Any ideas?
