- The DVB net device controls the mapping of data packages that are part
- of a transport stream to be mapped into a virtual network interface,
- visible through the standard Linux network protocol stack.
- Currently, two encapsulations are supported:
- - `Multi Protocol Encapsulation (MPE) <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiprotocol_Encapsulation>`__
- - `Ultra Lightweight Encapsulation (ULE) <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unidirectional_Lightweight_Encapsulation>`__
- In order to create the Linux virtual network interfaces, an application
- needs to tell to the Kernel what are the PIDs and the encapsulation
- types that are present on the transport stream. This is done through
- ``/dev/dvb/adapter?/net?`` device node. The data will be available via
- virtual ``dvb?_?`` network interfaces, and will be controlled/routed via
- the standard ip tools (like ip, route, netstat, ifconfig, etc).
- Data types and and ioctl definitions are defined via ``linux/dvb/net.h``
- header.
