being the same as the previous (still supported) ``host:port''
syntax for tcp socket devices.
A udp device uses synchronous ppp rather than async, and avoids
the double-retransmit overhead that comes with ppp over tcp (it's
usually a bad idea to transport IP over a reliable transport that
itself is using an unreliable transport). PPP over UDP provides
througput of ** 1.5Mb per second ** with all compression disabled,
maxing out a PPro/200 when running ppp twice, back-to-back.
This proves that PPPoE is plausable in userland....
This change adds a few more handler functions to struct device and
allows derivations of struct device (which may contain their own
data etc) to pass themselves through the unix domain socket for MP.
** At last **, struct physical has lost all the tty crud !
iov2physical() is now smart enough to restore the correct stack of
layers so that MP servers will work again.
The version number has bumped as our MP link transfer contents have
changed (they now may contain a `struct device').
Don't extract the protocol twice in MP mode (resulting in protocol
rejects for every MP packet). This was broken with my original
layering changes.
Add ``Physical'' and ``Sync'' log levels for logging the relevent
raw packets and add protocol-tracking LogDEBUG stuff in various
LayerPush & LayerPull functions.
Assign our physical device name for incoming tcp connections by
calling getpeername().
Assign our physical device name for incoming udp connections from
the address retrieved by the first recvfrom().
header in fsm_Input() we often end up with a NULL mbuf.
Deal with a possible NULL mbuf being passed into
mbuf_Prepend().
Adjust some spacing to make things more consistent.
the layering.
We now ``stack'' layers as soon as we open the device (when we figure
out what we're dealing with). A static set of `dispatch' routines are
also declared for dealing with incoming packets after they've been
`pulled' up through the stacked layers.
Physical devices are now assigned handlers based on the device type
when they're opened. For the moment there are three device types;
ttys, execs and tcps.
o Increment version number to 2.2
o Make an entry in [uw]tmp for non-tty -direct invocations (after
pap/chap authentication).
o Make throughput counters quad_t's
o Account for the absolute number of mbuf malloc()s and free()s in
``show mem''.
o ``show modem'' becomes ``show physical''.
device per argument rather than the old way of concatenating
everything then splitting the result at commas and whitespace.
Old syntax of ``set device /dev/cuaa0, /dev/cuaa1''
may no longer contain the comma, but syntax such as
``set device "!ssh host ppp -direct label"'' is now
possible.
receiver and one for the sender. This allows two simultaneous
chap conversations - something that I *thought* I was already
doing on a daily basis myself until the existence of the

of lcp.c). This change broke at least one negotiation
session.
Instead, we just use an OR of the two accmap values when
we're doing the ASYNC framing.

forget to pass it to async_Input() and drop our

Don't output an extraneous \r if we're passed \r\n

be aligned. It now doesn't matter that cp isn't aligned as
the caller does another mbuf_Alloc() regardless.
need to process a signal (usually a SIGALRM). Check to see
if we need to process a signal both before *and* after calling
select() as older (pre-2.0) versions of ppp used to.
This handles the possibility that ppp may block at some
point (maybe due to an open() of a misconfigured device).
Previously, we'd potentially lock up in select().
The `necessary' marker reduces the increased signal checking
overhead so that at full speed with no compression transferring
an 83Mb file via a ``!ppp -direct'' device, we get a 1%
throughput gain.
ACCMAP being REQuested by the peer, also increment our FSM
id so that we don't end up sending out a new REQ with the
same ID and different data (the changed ACCMAP).
when we've simply missed a packet.
When our Predictor1 CRC is wrong (implying we've dropped
a packet), don't send a ResetReq(). Instead, send another
CCP ConfigReq(). *shrug* My tests show this as being far
worse than the ResetReq as we may have further Nak/Rejs etc
and we're basically resetting both our incoming and outgoing
compression dictionaries, but rfc1978 says the ConfigReq is
correct, so we'd better go along...
