by Hi,
I'm working to my thesis about network monitoring and i'm programming with
DLPI (Data Link Provider Interface) available with SunOS 5.0 which enables to
work directly with datalink layer and so with packets.
My problem is this:
I must open the datalink provider, attach the file descriptor to a "Physical
Point of Attachment" (PPA), and bind a service access point (SAP) address to
the file descriptor.
My question is:
What is PPA and SAP? I didn't understand that and I'd be glad if somebody
explains the meaning of these terms with some examples.
Thanx in advance
William
