Sun Microsystems 2.1 manual Specifying Encapsulation, 1Value of encap Field in MsmConnect

TABLE 7-1

The components of this address are as follows:

■The <IP hostname> is the destination client’s IP hostname.

■The <UDPport num> is the destination UDP port number on which the client host is awaiting data.

For example, the address of host=cordelia,udpport=40000 specifies that data be delivered to host cordelia at UDP port 40000.

The server must have available a name service (or appropriate entries in local /etc/ hosts and /etc/ethers) so that the client hostname can be resolved to the four- byte IP address and the six-byte Ethernet address before data transmission begins.

7.6Specifying Encapsulation

For all types of output links, you specify the encapsulation of the data for a particular bit stream with the MSMC API ‘s msmSetConnect() function. You fill in an instance of the MsmConnect structure before calling msmSetConnect(). This structure contains an encap field, which holds a string. This field determines the

encapsulation that the server uses to deliver data to the client. lists the strings used to specify different encapsulations.
