11.2 Sun-Specific ioctls

The following ioctls are specific to Sun. Take care when using them in programs that interwork with other versions of X.25.

These ioctls must be used with the ioctl(2) system call.

The following ioctls are related to statistics:

Reserved for future use. Must be set to 0. 

WAN_maxframe

The maximum frame size to be used on this interface (unit is octet).
