.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.I sdp
|
|
device provides the interface to the Secure Datagram Protocol (SDP).
|
|
SDP (un)compresses and (de-)encrypts packets.
|
|
.I Spec
|
|
is an integer from 0 to 15 identifying a stack.
|
|
Each stack is independent of all others:
|
|
the only information transfer between them is via programs that
|
|
mount multiple stacks.
|
|
Normally a system uses only one stack.
|
|
However multiple stacks can be used for debugging
|
|
new networks or implementing firewalls or proxy
|
|
services.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The top level directory contains a
|
|
.B clone
|
|
file, a
|
|
.B log
|
|
file, and subdirectories numbered from zero to the number of connections
|
|
opened for this protocol.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Opening the
|
|
.B clone
|
|
file reserves a connection. The file descriptor returned from the
|
|
.IR open (2)
|
|
will point to the control file,
|
|
.BR ctl ,
|
|
of the newly allocated connection.
|
|
Reading
|
|
.B ctl
|
|
returns a text
|
|
string representing the number of the
|
|
connection.
|
|
Connections may be used either to listen for incoming calls
|
|
or to initiate calls to other machines.
|
|
.PP
|
|
A connection is controlled by writing text strings to the associated
|
|
.B ctl
|
|
file.
|
|
After a connection has been established data may be read from
|
|
and written to
|
|
.BR data .
|
|
A connection can be actively established using the
|
|
.B connect
|
|
message (see also
|
|
.IR dial (2)).
|
|
A connection can be established passively by first
|
|
using an
|
|
.B announce
|
|
message (see
|
|
.IR dial (2))
|
|
to bind to a local port and then
|
|
opening the
|
|
.B listen
|
|
file (see
|
|
.IR dial (2))
|
|
to receive incoming calls.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The following control messages are supported:
|
|
.TF "outsecret \fIsecret
|
|
.PD
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI accept " file"
|
|
Accept an incoming encrypted connection on
|
|
.IR file ,
|
|
typically a

|
file.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI dial " file"
|
|
Initiate a new encrypted connection on
|
|
.IR file ,
|
|
typically a UDP
|
|
.B data
|
|
file.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI drop " permil"
|
|
Randomly drop approximately one of every
|
|
.I permil
|
|
output packets,
|
|
thus simulating network errors.

|
.BI insecret " secret"
|
|
Use
|
|
.I secret
|
|
to decrypt incoming packets.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI outsecret " secret"
|
|
Use
|
|
.I secret
|
|
to encrypt outgoing packets.
