NAME         top

       tapset::networking - systemtap networking tapset

DESCRIPTION         top

        This family of probe points is used to probe the activities of
       the network device.

       netdev.receive
              Data received from network device.

               See probe::netdev.receive(3stap)
               for details.

       netdev.transmit
              Network device transmitting buffer

               See probe::netdev.transmit(3stap)
               for details.

       netdev.change_mtu
              Called when the netdev MTU is changed

               See probe::netdev.change_mtu(3stap)
               for details.

       netdev.open
              Called when the device is opened

               See probe::netdev.open(3stap)
               for details.

       netdev.close
              Called when the device is closed

               See probe::netdev.close(3stap)
               for details.

       netdev.hard_transmit
              Called when the devices is going to TX (hard)

               See probe::netdev.hard_transmit(3stap)
               for details.

       netdev.rx
              Called when the device is going to receive a packet

               See probe::netdev.rx(3stap)
               for details.

       netdev.change_rx_flag
              Called when the device RX flag will be changed

               See probe::netdev.change_rx_flag(3stap)
               for details.

       netdev.set_promiscuity
              Called when the device enters/leaves promiscuity

               See probe::netdev.set_promiscuity(3stap)
               for details.

       netdev.ioctl
              Called when the device suffers an IOCTL

               See probe::netdev.ioctl(3stap)
               for details.

       netdev.register
              Called when the device is registered

               See probe::netdev.register(3stap)
               for details.

       netdev.unregister
              Called when the device is being unregistered

               See probe::netdev.unregister(3stap)
               for details.

       netdev.get_stats
              Called when someone asks the device statistics

               See probe::netdev.get_stats(3stap)
               for details.

       netdev.change_mac
              Called when the netdev_name has the MAC changed

               See probe::netdev.change_mac(3stap)
               for details.
