The current implementation of the RMP family provides protocol support only for the .Dv SOCK_RAW socket type. As a result, .Xr sendto 2 and .Xr recvfrom 2 must be used to send and receive .Tn RMP packets. .Pp The format of an .Tn RMP packet is defined in the include file .Aq Pa netrmp/rmp_var.h . The .Tn RMP packet arrives encapsulated in an .Pf ( Tn HP extended) .Tn IEEE 802.2 packet. The .Tn IEEE 802.2 packet is preceded by the kernel address of an .Ar ifnet struct which is used to `route' a packet out the same interface it arrived on. Outgoing packets are encapsulated in a standard .Tn IEEE 802.3 packet, while incoming packets have this information stripped away. .Sh ADDRESSING .Tn RMP .Pf ( Tn IEEE 802.3) addresses are 6 octets in length (48 bytes). Sockets in the Remote Maintenance Protocol family use the following addressing structure: .Bd -literal -offset indent struct sockaddr_rmp { short srmp_family; u_char srmp_dhost[6]; }; .Ed .Sh PROTOCOLS The .Tn RMP protocol family supported by the operating system is currently comprised of the Boot Protocol .Pq Em proto= Ns Dv RMPPROTO_BOOT . Unfortunately, we have no documentation on the Remote Maintenance Protocol and only sketchy information about the Boot Protocol. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr socket 2 , .Xr bind 2 , .Xr sendto 2 , .Xr recvfrom 2 , .Xr intro 4 , .Xr rbootd 8 .Rs .%T "An Advanced 4.3 BSD Interprocess Communication Tutorial" .Re .Sh HISTORY The .Nm protocol interface .Ud .Sh BUGS .Bl -bullet .It The .Tn HP ROM uses .Tn IEEE 802.3 (as opposed to Ethernet) packets. While the kernel heuristically recognizes these packets, a more general mechanism for doing so should be provided. .It The .Tn HP ROM uses a multicast address when first trying to locate boot servers. While the Ethernet [sic] board is programmed to recognize this particular multicast address (9:0:9:0:0:4), a more general mechanism for doing so should be provided. .It The kernel supports only .Tn RAW sockets for the .Tn RMP protocol. This is either a bug or a feature, since the kernel is smaller at the price of greater complexity in the server. .It There is no support for .Xr bind Ns 'ing an address in the .Tn RMP domain. Something like an .Dv RMPADDR_ANY should be provided to prevent more than one .Xr rbootd server from running at the same time. .El
