Mpd is a netgraph(4) based implementation of the multi-link PPP
|
|
|
|
|
protocol for FreeBSD. It is designed to be both fast and flexible.
|
|
|
|
|
It handles configuration and negotiation in user land, while routing
|
|
|
|
|
all data packets strictly in the kernel. It supports several of
|
|
|
|
|
