BPE(4) - Device Drivers Manual # BPE(4) - Device Drivers Manual
NAME # bpe - Backbone Provider Edge pseudo-device
SYNOPSIS # pseudo-device bpe
DESCRIPTION # The bpe driver creates IEEE 802.1Q Provider Backbone Bridge (PBB) networks by acting as a Backbone Edge Bridge (BEB). PBB, also known as mac-in-mac, was originally specified in IEEE 802.1ah-2008 and became part of IEEE 802.1Q-2011.
A Provider Backbone Bridge Network (PBBN) consists of BEBs interconnected by Backbone Core Bridges (BCBs) to form an Ethernet network for the transport of encapsulated Ethernet packets.

Bridge BRIDGE(4) - Device Drivers Manual # BRIDGE(4) - Device Drivers Manual
NAME # bridge - Ethernet bridge interface
SYNOPSIS # pseudo-device bridge
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <net/if.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <netinet/if_ether.h>
#include <net/if_bridge.h>
DESCRIPTION # The bridge device creates a logical link between two or more Ethernet interfaces or encapsulation interfaces (see [etherip(4)](/man/man4/etherip.4)). This link between the interfaces selectively forwards frames from each interface on the bridge to every other interface on the bridge.

NAME # dhcrelay6 - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6 (DHCPv6) relay agent
SYNOPSIS # dhcrelay6 [-dlov] [-E enterprise-number] [-I interface-id] [-R remote-id] -i interface destination …
DESCRIPTION # The dhcrelay6 utility provides a means for relaying DHCPv6 requests from a subnet to which no DHCP server is directly connected to one or more DHCPv6 servers on other subnets.

NAME # etherip - EtherIP tunnel interface
SYNOPSIS # pseudo-device etherip
DESCRIPTION # The etherip interface is a pseudo-device for tunnelling Ethernet frames across IP[46] networks using RFC 3378 EtherIP encapsulation.
An etherip interface can be created using the ifconfig etherip‌N create command or by setting up a hostname.if(5) configuration file for netstart(8). It must be configured with the addresses used for the outer header.

Netintro NETINTRO(4) - Device Drivers Manual # NETINTRO(4) - Device Drivers Manual
NAME # netintro - introduction to networking facilities
SYNOPSIS # #include <sys/socket.h>
#include <net/route.h>
#include <net/if.h>
DESCRIPTION # This section is a general introduction to the networking facilities available in the system. Documentation in this part of section 4 is broken up into three areas: protocol families (domains), protocols, and network interfaces.
All network protocols are associated with a specific protocol family.

PAIR(4) - Device Drivers Manual # PAIR(4) - Device Drivers Manual
NAME # pair - virtual Ethernet interface pair
SYNOPSIS # pseudo-device pair
DESCRIPTION # The pair interface simulates a normal Ethernet interface by encapsulating standard network frames with an Ethernet header, specifically for use in a pair of interfaces that are interconnected with each other.
To use it, the administrator needs to create two pair interfaces and connect them; the interfaces are ‘patched’, as would be done with physical network ports.

PF(4) - Device Drivers Manual # PF(4) - Device Drivers Manual
NAME # pf - packet filter
SYNOPSIS # pseudo-device pf
DESCRIPTION # Packet filtering takes place in the kernel. A pseudo-device, /dev/pf, allows userland processes to control the behavior of the packet filter through an ioctl(2) interface. There are commands to enable and disable the filter, load rulesets, add and remove individual rules or state table entries, and retrieve statistics.

TPMR(4) - Device Drivers Manual # TPMR(4) - Device Drivers Manual
NAME # tpmr - IEEE 802.1Q Two-Port MAC Relay interface
SYNOPSIS # pseudo-device tpmr
DESCRIPTION # The tpmr driver implements an 802.1Q (originally 802.1aj) Two-Port MAC Relay (TPMR). A TPMR is a simplified Ethernet bridge with exactly two member ports, and it unconditionally relays Ethernet packets between those ports.
tpmr interfaces can be created at runtime using the ifconfig tpmr‌N create command or by setting up a hostname.

VETHER(4) - Device Drivers Manual # VETHER(4) - Device Drivers Manual
NAME # vether - virtual Ethernet interface
SYNOPSIS # pseudo-device vether
DESCRIPTION # The vether interface simulates a normal Ethernet interface by encapsulating standard network frames with an Ethernet header, specifically for use as a member in a bridge(4).
To use vether the administrator needs to configure an address onto the interface so that packets can be routed to it.

VSW(4) - Device Drivers Manual (sparc64) # VSW(4) - Device Drivers Manual (sparc64)
NAME # vsw - virtual network switch
SYNOPSIS # vsw* at cbus? vnet* at vsw?
DESCRIPTION # The vsw driver provides a network switch using the services provided by the UltraSPARC Hypervisor as found on sun4v systems. It attaches a separate vnet(4) interface for each switch port. These ports can be added to a bridge(4) or veb(4) to create a functional network switch.
