shortseq, authname and authkey.
o Auth{name,key} may additionally be set in PHASE_ESTABLISH.
o The others may be set in PHASE_ESTABLISH as long as no links
have yet reached DATALINK_LCP.
anything for two mintues (see ``set choked'' and ``show
bundle''), nuke the ip, mp and link level buffer queues.
This should fix problems where ``ppp -auto'' seems to stop
responding after failing to connect to the peer a few times.
(see the new ``set callback'' and ``set cbcp'' commands)
o Add a ``cbcp'' log level and mbuf type.
o Don't dump core when \T is given in ``set login'' or
``set hangup''.
o Allow ``*'' and blanks as placeholders in ppp.secret and
allow a fifth field for specifying auth/cbcp dialback
parameters.
o Remove a few extraneous #includes
o Define the default number of REQs (restart counter) in defs.h
rather than hardcoding ``5'' all over the place.
o Fix a few man page inconsistencies.
o If we've denied and disabled all compression protocols, stay
in ST_INITIAL and do an LCP protocol reject if we receive any
CCP packets.
o If we've disabled all compression protocols, go to ST_STOPPED
and wait for the other side to ask for something.
o If we've got anything enabled, start REQing as soon as the auth
layer is up.
o If we're in multilink mode, than the link level CCP goes
straight to ST_STOPPED irrespective of what's configured so that
we never try to compress compressed stuff by default.
end up writing zero bytes, sleep for 1/10 of a second so that
we don't end up using up too much cpu.
This should only ever happen on systems that wrongly report a
descriptor as writable despite the tty buffer being full.
Discussed with: Jeff Evarts
o Do an initial run-time check to see if select() alters the passed
timeval. This knowledge isn't yet used, but will be soon.
o Bring the static ``ttystate'' into struct prompt so that
the tilde context is per prompt and not global.
o Comment the remaining static variables so that it's
clear why they're static.
o Add some XXX comments suggesting that our interface list
and our hostname should be re-generated after a signal
(say SIGUSR1) so that a machine with PCCARDs has a chance.
transferring session rights with them. Instead, create two
`/bin/cat' processes. A new child is spawned and disassociated from
the terminal and the parent, which continues with the rest of the ppp
process. Meanwhile, the parent spawns another child, and both the
parent and child exec the `/bin/cat' commands with the appropriate
descriptors. This way, the session is owned by the parent, and the
tty is held open.
o Close LCPs that have done a TLF and are now in ST_STOPPED before
calling Down. This prevents them from trying to come back up again
after the peer has shut them down (it seems a bit strange that the
rfc says that a Down in ST_STOPPED will cause a TLS etc).
o Don't try to set the physical link name pointer when we're receiving
and renaming a datalink. The physical hasn't been created yet, and as
it happens, the garbage physical pointer happens to be the value of another
physical - so we're pointing that other physical name at ourselves.
yeuck.
o Re-arrange the order of things in main (DoLoop()). We now handle
signals only after the select and not before the UpdateSet. It's
possible that either a signal (FSM timeout) or a descriptor_Read()
brings a link down, after which we'd better tidy up any dead direct
and 1off descriptors before calling UpdateSet() again.
o Mention when we detect a PPP packet when we see one before the link
is up (then start LCP as before).
It's now dealt with by the `server' object. This simplifies
things as we only have one list of prompt descriptors and
the log_ routines check prompt::logactive to determine
whether it should be used for output.
o Include the MP socket UpdateSet() result in bundle::UpdateSet().
o Don't select on the tun device unless we're in NETWORK
phase or AUTO mode.
o Stop the idle timer when we go to DEAD phase. We may
have transferred a link and not had a chance to kill
it.
o Don't fail when trying to unlink our transferred datalink
from our descriptor lists just before the transfer.
o Add our link descriptor to the write set if we got a short
write the last time (physical::out is set).
o Log the connection source address when a connection is closed.
o Remove descriptor::next field. Descriptor lists are not required
any more.
incoming fragments when a link goes down.
o Don't use the minimum sequence numbers of links that aren't open.
o Understand sequence number wrapping when determining the minimum
sequence number.
o Add & adjust a few comments.
the bundle has the opportunity to go PHASE_DEAD and cleanup
the interface (if it's the last link).
o Regnerate our phys_type value when we transfer the link.
o Always clean up the interface when destroying our bundle in case
we're abending.
o Always clean up our interface when the last link is gone rather than
delaying things 'till exit time in the -direct case (the interface
is useless anyway). Do this *after* slamming down our NCPs (if
they're still around).
o Our MP server descriptor now clears the relevent device descriptor
from our descriptor [fd]sets when a datalink is on death-row (to
be transferred to another running ppp), thus avoiding the possibility
of passing a bum descriptor to select() and having ppp abend.
o Handle the MP socket descriptor functions from within the bundle
descriptor functions. Now we ensure that the MP socket descriptor
functions see the descriptor sets *after* they've been seen by our
datalinks.
o Add/fix a few more comments.
into the ST_STOPPED state.
o Allow an optional ccp|lcp argument to `down'. The default is
still lcp (as before). You can now call down with no context
in multilink mode, in which case it'll down the multilink ccp
or the entire bundle (*very* rude).
o Allow an optional `!' after `close ccp' (close ccp!) to tell
ccp to stay in the CLOSED state after the terminate ACK. The
default is now to re-enter STOPPED so that the peer can bring
the layer back up if desired.
o Always handle proto-compressed packets, even if we've agreed
(in LCP) that the peer will not send us 1 byte protocols.
If the peer violates the LCP agreement, log it to the HDLC
log.
o Fix some comments.
o Log FD_SET()s in LogTIMER.
o Identify the descriptor that causes an EBADF from select()
if LogTIMER is enabled (then exit).
o Call the MP server UpdateSet() function after calling
the UpdateSet() for all links - the link may enter
PHASE_TERMINATE and bring down the MP server - breaking
the imminent select().
LQM and HDLC timer diagnostics come out with the correct name.
o Don't send an LQR immediately upon reviving a datalink. Leave
it 'till the next timeout.
o Add the link name to some more LQR diagnostics.
o Break out of the main loop when a descriptor exception is seen
in select().
o Remove the evil nointr_[u]sleep() functions. Timers should be
(and are) used instead.
o Treat a read() of 0 bytes as an error that's fatal to the link
on which the read() is done. We should never read() 0 after
select() says there's something there - not unless the link
has been closed by the other side.
o Write the data seen before a HDLC header to the terminal in
`term' mode, *not* back to the modem :-/
o Initialise our transmitted file descriptor before starting any
timers.
o Only send data links that have *no* pending output data. This
means that our final ACK will be written rather than being
nuked with the datalink transmission.
according to SHORTSEQ negotiation.
o Don't forget to attach incoming fragments with a
number greater than everything else in the queue
(rather than leaking memory).
o Output the link name with the ``other'' hdlc
diagnostic message.
o Correct a VJ diagnostic (`COMPPROTO', not `proto').
throughput measurement is enabled).
o Load balance the links based on weight *and* on a round-robin
basis. This makes things fairly even on an output basis. We
don't try to allow for the peer sending all his data down one
link (and try to send ours back up the other).
o Show the number of pending input buffers that can't be processed
in ``show mp''.
o Fix a typo in the man page.
using the scatter/gather array to transfer the link
information. The whole link is now passed in one message.
This is far better than the two `/bin/cat' processes per additional
link :-) I remember years ago thinking that file descriptor
transferral would be a really amazing facility !

log debug'' without filling our filesystem/screen with
junk that we don't really want to see.
o change PHYS_STDIN to PHYS_DIRECT - we can handle incoming
connections that aren't on STDIN_FILENO now.
o Allow return values from our FSM LayerUp functions. If
LayerUp() fails, the FSM does an immediate FsmDown() without
calling the fsm_parent's Layer{Up,Down} functions.
o Clear the close-on-exec flag of file descriptor 3 when executing
chat programs so that our documented ability to communicate with
/dev/tty via that descriptor works. Also document it as
descriptor 3, not 4 :-O
o Allow a ``rm'' command as an alias for ``remove''.
o Fix the bind()/connect()/accept() calls made by the MP server.
o Create bundle_SendDatalink() and bundle_ReceiveDatalink().
This allows `struct datalink's to flatten themselves, pass
through a pipe (read: the eye of a needle !) and come alive
at the other end. The donator then fork()s & exec()s pppmpipe,
``passing'' the connection to another ppp instance.
*** PPP NOW TALKS MULTILINK :-))) ***
Our link utilization is hideous, and lots of code needs
tidying still. It's also probably riddled with bugs !
It's been tested against itself only, and has hung once,
so confidence isn't high....
o Create struct mpserver as part of struct mp.
mpserver creates a unix-domain socket based on the
peers auth name and endpoint discriminator. If it
already exists, ppp will ``pass the link'' over to
the owner of the socket, joining it into the bundle
of another ppp invocation, otherwise ppp waits for
other invocations to pass it links through this
socket.
The final piece of code will be the code that flattens
our datalink info and passes it down this channel
(not yet implemented).
we've determined if we're going to join another ppp invocation.
o Make ``show link'' show all link details, and ``show links''
just give a list of links and their current status.
o Show our current label in ``show bundle''.
o Allow link cloning and removal as soon as our MRRU is set.
o Make ``show lcp'' require context as nothing will ever change
in our MP LCP (it's auto-configured as per rfc1990).
o Initialise our LQM owner in hdlc_Init().
o Store our endpoint discriminator and authentication name at both
the datalink and multilink level and compare them when we've
finished AUTHENTICATE phase and before entering NETWORK phase.
If they don't match, close the link again.
Display the information in the appropriate ``show'' command.
o Initialise datalink::phone and datalink::fsmp.object properly
when we're cloning the link.
o Show which link we're passing LQRs on in our diagnostics.
o Reject endpoint discriminator REQs at the logical multilink
level.
o Remove the rest of our CARRIER and LINK logging setup.
o change the default link name to ``deflink'' rather
than ``default''.
o Prepend the link name to CCP and LCP FSM diagnostics.
o Protect against 0 length options in CCP and IPCP REQ
interpreters (already done for LCP).
o Allow optional context for the `show' command.
o Use MPs link when interpreting commands if the multilink
mrru is configured rather than when multilink is active.
This means that once we've ``set mrru xxx'', we then need
to ``link deflink show ccp'' etc if we want to do link-level
stuff (based on the command requiring optional or manditory
context).
o Use the ifconfig'd interface address in `set enddisc {ip,mac}'
if it's there, otherwise the configuration file value.
first link in mp_Up().
o Bring MP and its CCP down when we enter phase TERMINATE,
and ditch everything in the incoming packet queue.
o Enable MRRU negotiation. Now, we can multilink
mode, but only with one physical link.
o Close the link if the peer PROTO REJs PROTO_MP.
o Prepend our protocol before passing a packet to
struct mp for fragmentation.
o Log info messages to DEBUG, not ERROR (oops).
o Align `show mp' output (again).
call it after link authentication.
o Pretty print our bundle MTU.
o Correct MP header encoding and decoding (should be network byte order).
o Add some debug diagnostics so that we can see MP fragment sending and
re-assembly.
multilink ('cos I've seen my ISP REQ it without multilink).
Setting MRRU is ifdef'd out until it's debugged and we can
merge -direct links with other running programs.
Fix MTU setting.
bundle (non-negotiated vars) or to their respective IPCP,
LCP or CCP.
o Enable rolling throughput statistics by default.
o Remove the `display' command. These values now appear in
`show bundle', `show ipcp', `show ccp' and `show lcp'.
o Initialise auth name & key at bundle create time (oops).
o Rename pppd-deflate (the id-24 hack) to deflate24.
o Don't send both a REJ and a NAK to an IPCP or LCP REQ.
Favour the REJ (already done at the CCP level).
o Recurse in datalink_UpdateSet() when we change state, otherwise
we end up setting no descriptors and getting jammed in the
imminent select() instead of doing the dial/login/hangup.
o Display our CHAP encryption method despite being built with DES.
o Display VJ as not negotiated in ``show ipcp'' when necessary.
o Remove bundle2lcp(), bundle2ccp() and bundle2link().
They're too resource-hungry and we have `owner pointers'
to do their job.
o Make our FSM understand LCPs that are always ST_OPENED
(with a minimum code that != 1).
o Send FSM code rejects for invalid codes.
o Make our bundle fsm_parent deal with multiple links.
o Make timer diagnostics pretty and allow access via ~t
in `term' mode (not just when logging debug) and
`show timers'. Only show timers every second in debug
mode, otherwise we get too many diagnostics to be useful
(we probably still do). Also, don't restrict ~m in term
mode to depend on debug logging.
o Rationalise our bundles' phases.
o Create struct mp (multilink protocol). This is both an
NCP and a type of struct link. It feeds off other NCPs
for output, passing fragmented packets into the queues
of available datalinks. It also gets PROTO_MP input,
reassembles the fragments into ppp frames, and passes
them back to the HDLC layer that the fragments were passed
from.
** It's not yet possible to enter multilink mode :-( **
o Add `set weight' (requires context) for deciding on a links
weighting in multilink mode. Weighting is simplistic (and
probably badly implemented) for now.
o Remove the function pointers in struct link. They ended up
only applying to physical links.
o Configure our tun device with an MTU equal to the MRU from
struct mp's LCP and a speed equal to the sum of our link
speeds.
o `show {lcp,ccp,proto}' and `set deflate' now have optional
context and use ChooseLink() to decide on which `struct link'
to use. This allows behaviour as before when in non-multilink
mode, and allows access to the MP logical link in multilink
mode.
o Ignore reconnect and redial values when in -direct mode and
when cleaning up. Always redial when in -ddial or -dedicated
mode (unless cleaning up).
o Tell our links to `staydown' when we close them due to a signal.
o Remove remaining `#ifdef SIGALRM's (ppp doesn't function without
alarms).
o Don't bother strdup()ing our physical link name.
o Various other cosmetic changes.
