docs: networking: convert ipddp.txt to ReST
Not much to be done here:
- add SPDX header;
- use a document title from existing text;
- adjust a chapter markup;
- add to networking/index.rst.

AppleTalk-IP is simply IP datagrams -inside AppleTalk packets. - -Through this driver you can either allow your Linux box to communicate -IP over an AppleTalk network or you can provide IP gatewaying functions -for your AppleTalk users. - -You can currently encapsulate or decapsulate AppleTalk-IP on LocalTalk, -EtherTalk and PPPTalk. The only limit on the protocol is that of what -kernel AppleTalk layer and drivers are available. - -Each mode requires its own user space software. - -Compiling AppleTalk-IP Decapsulation/Encapsulation -================================================= - -AppleTalk-IP decapsulation needs to be compiled into your kernel. You -will need to turn on AppleTalk-IP driver support. Then you will need to -select ONE of the two options; IP to AppleTalk-IP encapsulation support or -AppleTalk-IP to IP decapsulation support. If you compile the driver -statically you will only be able to use the driver for the function you have -enabled in the kernel. If you compile the driver as a module you can -select what mode you want it to run in via a module loading param. -ipddp_mode=1 for AppleTalk-IP encapsulation and ipddp_mode=2 for -AppleTalk-IP to IP decapsulation. - -Basic instructions for user space tools -======================================= - -I will briefly describe the operation of the tools, but you will -need to consult the supporting documentation for each set of tools. - -Decapsulation - You will need to download a software package called -MacGate. In this distribution there will be a tool called MacRoute -which enables you to add routes to the kernel for your Macs by hand. -Also the tool MacRegGateWay is included to register the -proper IP Gateway and IP addresses for your machine. Included in this -distribution is a patch to netatalk-1.4b2+asun2.0a17.2 (available from -ftp.u.washington.edu/pub/user-supported/asun/) this patch is optional -but it allows automatic adding and deleting of routes for Macs. (Handy -for locations with large Mac installations) - -Encapsulation - You will need to download a software daemon called ipddpd. -This software expects there to be an AppleTalk-IP gateway on the network. -You will also need to add the proper routes to route your Linux box's IP -traffic out the ipddp interface. - -Common Uses of ipddp.c ----------------------- -Of course AppleTalk-IP decapsulation and encapsulation, but specifically -decapsulation is being used most for connecting LocalTalk networks to -IP networks. Although it has been used on EtherTalk networks to allow -Macs that are only able to tunnel IP over EtherTalk. - -Encapsulation has been used to allow a Linux box stuck on a LocalTalk -network to use IP. It should work equally well if you are stuck on an -EtherTalk only network. - -Further Assistance -------------------- -You can contact me (Jay Schulist <jschlst@samba.org>) with any -questions regarding decapsulation or encapsulation. Bradford W. Johnson -<johns393@maroon.tc.umn.edu> originally wrote the ipddp.c driver for IP -encapsulation in AppleTalk. |
