The RawSocket
app is a bridge between Linux network interfaces (eth0
,
lo
, etc.) and a Snabb app network. Packets taken from the rx
port are
transmitted over the selected interface. Packets received on the
interface are put on the tx
port.

The RawSocket
app accepts a string as its configuration argument. The
string denotes the interface to bridge to.
The UnixSocket
app provides I/O for a named Unix socket.
The UnixSocket
app takes a string argument which denotes the Unix socket
file name to open, or a table with the fields:
filename
- the Unix socket file name to open.listen
- iftrue
, listen for incoming connections on the socket rather than connecting to the socket in client mode.mode
- can be "stream" or "packet" (the default is "stream"): the difference is that in packet mode, the packets are not split or merged (in both modes packets arrive in order).
NOTE: The socket is not opened until the first call to push() or pull(). If connection is lost, the socket will be re-opened on the next call to push() or pull().
