About the PPP code:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The PPP code is not our "own" code - we just copied it from pppd (http://ppp.samba.org/) and adapted it to lwIP.
|
||
|
|
Unfortunately, not many here know their way around it too well. Back in 2009, we took the effort to see which
|
||
|
|
version of pppd our code relates to and we're pretty much on 2.3.11 with some bugs from 2.4.x backported.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Aside from simple code adaptions, there are some files that are different, however:
|
||
|
|
- chpms.c/.h are named chap_ms.c/.h in the original pppd 2.3.11 sources
|
||
|
|
- pap.c/.h are named upap.c/.h in the original pppd 2.3.11 sources
|
||
|
|
- randm.c is a random generator not included in the original pppd
|
||
|
|
- magic.c does not use the C library's random functions, but uses randm.c instead
|
||
|
|
- vj.c/.h is an implementation of the Van Jacobson header compression algorithm adapted to lwIP pbufs,
|
||
|
|
probably copied from one of the vjcompress.c files from pppd.
|
||
|
|
- ppp.c, ppp.h and ppp_impl.h contain the adaption from pppd to lwIP. This is the "OS"-dependent part like there
|
||
|
|
is an implementation for linux, xBSD etc. in the pppd sources.
|
||
|
|
- ppp_oe.c is Marc Boucher's implementation based on NetBSD's if_pppoe.c
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There is of course potential for bugs in it, but when analyzing of reporting bugs, it is strongly encouraged to
|
||
|
|
compare the code in question to pppd 2.3.11 (our basis) and newer versions (perhaps it's already fixed?) and to
|
||
|
|
share this knowledge with us when reporting a bug.
