Re: Entry point of stack IP


It is more like PPP/SLIP. The device is a modem (DOCSIS) used on numerical 
TV. Data are transmitted from/to host  to/from to slave using DOCSIS modem 
(TX/RX).  The host and the slave have each one a MAC and IP ADRESS.

It is not a simple question to answer. What sort of device is this?
Does it emulate an Ethernet device? Is it more like PPP/SLIP?  These
have different ways of plugging into the TCP/IP stack.
