NAME
edsc - Ethernet discard network interfaceSYNOPSIS
device edscDESCRIPTION
The interface is a software discard mechanism which may be used for performance analysis and software testing. It imitates an Ethernet device, which allows for its use in conjunction with such drivers as if_bridge4 and vlan(4).As with other network interfaces, an interface must have network addresses assigned for each address family with which it is to be used. These addresses may be set or changed with the SIOCSIFADDR ioctl(2) or ifconfig(8) utility.
Each interface is created at runtime using interface cloning. This is most easily done with the ifconfig(8) create command or using the cloned_interfaces variable in rc.conf5.

ioctl(2), arp(4), if_bridge4, inet(4), intro(4), vlan(4), rc.conf5, arp(8), ifconfig(8)HISTORY
The device was derived from the disc(4) device and first appeared in Fx 6.3 . This manpage was adapted from disc(4).CAVEATS
Since outgoing packets are just discarded by , ARP requests stay unreplied. Consequently, an IP packet cannot be sent via until a static arp(4) entry is created for its next hop using arp(8).Initially an interface has a zero link level address. It can be changed with ifconfig(8) lladdr if needed.
