If i want to use this interface not as a pointopoint one, i'll have
to make changes in ip_strm_mod.c.
Is there any other way to do so??
You may want to take a look at the ip_to_dlpi instead. We released this
as open source a little while ago and you'll find it in LiS 2.16.
One issue you need to keep in mind (which may help explain why ip_strm_mod is point-to-point) is that you have a non-arp interface. Given that, you won't have automatic determination of different MAC addresses for different remotes. Being point-to-point allows you to determine the remote WAN node by the selected IP device.
We found this didn't fit the model in our products, which is why we use ip_to_dlpi.
We use a multiplexing driver below ip_to_dlpi which has internal tables
(loaded using ioctls) to map next-hop IP addresses to X.25 addresses and frame relay DLCIs. The lower driver also has to deals with setting up and tearing down virtual circuits to make the bridge between connectionless IP and connection-based X.25. Given the address mapping/ multiplexing happens further down the stack, ip_to_dlpi presents itself as multipoint.
