| 1551.It vjcomp 1552Default: Enabled and Accepted. This option decides if Van Jacobson 1553header compression will be used. | 1551.It acfcomp 1552Default: Enabled and Accepted. ACFComp stands for Address and Control 1553Field Compression. Non LCP packets usually have very similar address 1554and control fields - making them easily compressible. |

| 1555.It lqr 1556Default: Disabled and Accepted. This option decides if Link Quality 1557Requests will be sent. LQR is a protocol that allows 1558.Nm 1559to determine that the link is down without relying on the modems 1560carrier detect. 1561 | |
| 1562.It chap 1563Default: Disabled and Accepted. CHAP stands for Challenge Handshake 1564Authentication Protocol. Only one of CHAP and PAP (below) may be 1565negotiated. With CHAP, the authenticator sends a "challenge" message 1566to its peer. The peer uses a one-way hash function to encrypt the 1567challenge and sends the result back. The authenticator does the same, 1568and compares the results. The advantage of this mechanism is that no 1569passwords are sent across the connection. --- 18 unchanged lines hidden (view full) --- 1588 1589Some 1590.Em PPP 1591implementations use "MS-CHAP" rather than MD5 when encrypting the 1592challenge.

LQR is a protocol that allows 1593.Nm 1594to determine that the link is down without relying on the modems 1595carrier detect. 1596 1597.It msext 1598Default: Disabled. This option allows the use of Microsoft's 1599.Em PPP 1600extensions, supporting the negotiation of the DNS and the NetBIOS NS. 1601Enabling this allows us to pass back the values given in "set ns" 1602and "set nbns". 1603 |

| 1596.It pap 1597Default: Disabled and Accepted. PAP stands for Password Authentication 1598Protocol. Only one of PAP and CHAP (above) may be negotiated. With 1599PAP, the ID and Password are sent repeatedly to the peer until 1600authentication is acknowledged or the connection is terminated. This 1601is a rather poor security mechanism. It is only performed when the 1602connection is first established. 1603 --- 10 unchanged lines hidden (view full) --- 1614When using PAP as the client, you need only specify 1615.Dq AuthName 1616and 1617.Dq AuthKey 1618in 1619.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.conf . 1620PAP is accepted by default. 1621 | 1604.It pap 1605Default: Disabled and Accepted. PAP stands for Password Authentication 1606Protocol. Only one of PAP and CHAP (above) may be negotiated. With 1607PAP, the ID and Password are sent repeatedly to the peer until 1608authentication is acknowledged or the connection is terminated. This 1609is a rather poor security mechanism.

Non LCP packets usually have very similar address 1625and control fields - making them easily compressible. | 1630.It pred1 1631Default: Enabled and Accepted. This option decides if Predictor 1 1632compression will be used. |
| 1626 1627.It protocomp 1628Default: Enabled and Accepted. This option is used to negotiate 1629PFC (Protocol Field Compression), a mechanism where the protocol 1630field number is reduced to one octet rather than two. 1631 | 1633 1634.It protocomp 1635Default: Enabled and Accepted.

Enabling this option will tell the PAP authentication 1655code to use the password file (see 1656.Xr passwd 5 ) 1657to authenticate the caller rather than the 1658.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.secret 1659file. 1660 | 1649.It passwdauth 1650Default: Disabled.

Enabling this option will tell 1664.Nm 1665to gather thoroughput statistics. Input and output is sampled over 1666a rolling 5 second window, and current, best and total figures are 1667retained. This data is output when the relevent 1668.Em PPP 1669layer shuts down, and is also available using the 1670.Dq show 1671command. Troughput statistics are available at the 1672.Dq IPCP 1673and 1674.Dq modem 1675levels. 1676 |
