Full Duplex Howto
Dear Members,
I was reading a few posts and saw something about installing two Nics so one could use Full Duplex. I remember back in the day of dial up, you could have two modems and use one for upstream and one for downstream. This was called shotgunning. It seems that you can now do the same with Nics. I am guessing that you would just put two Nics on your board, then hook up both cat5s to the switch. However, I just have to ask; won't that cause collisions? Anyway, I was wondering if you all would like to clearify some of this and help me with the actual software part of setting this up in either BSD or Linux.
Thanks alot!

NG_UI(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual NG_UI(4)
NAME
ng_UI -- UI netgraph node type
SYNOPSIS
#include <netgraph/ng_UI.h>
DESCRIPTION
The UI node type has two hooks, upstream and downstream. Packets received on downstream must have 0x03 (indicating unnumbered information)
as their first byte; if not the packet is dropped. This byte is then stripped and the remainder of the packet sent out on upstream.
Conversely, packets received on upstream will have a 0x03 byte prepended to them before being forwarded out on the downstream hook.
HOOKS
This node type supports the following hooks:
downstream
Downstream connection. Packets on this side of the node have a 0x03 as their first byte.
upstream
Upstream connection. Packets on this side of the node have the initial 0x03 byte stripped off.
CONTROL MESSAGES
This node type supports only the generic control messages.
SHUTDOWN
This node shuts down upon receipt of a NGM_SHUTDOWN control message, or when both hooks have been disconnected.
SEE ALSO
netgraph(4), ngctl(8)
HISTORY
The ng_UI node type was implemented in FreeBSD 4.0.
