I'm in the process of installing several full-duplex links which nearly
all consist of a single TX and 2 or 3 RX at each site. I would like
to experiment with using virtual circuit on these links but only one
leg at each site will be using the TX & RX on the same physical port.
Is there a way of establishing an AX25 circuit where the RX may be
coming back on a different port? I can do it using JNOS with a
multiple port KISS TNC device by *not* attaching the second port
whereby JNOS defaults to thinking any traffic on the unattached
port is on the 'master' KISS port. Does Linux behave in a similar fashion?
(not very likely methinks).
I'm hoping that these experiments (if I can carry them out) will prove
that virtual circuit carrying IP works fine provided the multiple packet
TX transmission delay is removed by the use of full-duplex.
Cheers
