# 134789 05-Sep-2004 brian

Make ppp WARNS=5 clean


# 81634 14-Aug-2001 brian

o Add ipv6 support, abstracting most NCP addresses into opaque
structures (well, they're treated as opaque).

It's now possible to manage IPv6 interface addresses and routing
table entries and to filter IPV6 traffic whether encapsulated or
not.

IPV6CP support is crude for now, and hasn't been tested against
any other implementations.

RADIUS and IPv6 are independent of eachother for now.

ppp.linkup/ppp.linkdown aren't currently used by IPV6CP

o Understand all protocols(5) in filter rules rather than only a select
few.

o Allow a mask specification for the ``delete'' command. It's now
possible to specifically delete one of two conflicting routes.

o When creating and deleting proxy arp entries, do it for all IPv4
interface addresses rather than doing it just for the ``current''
peer address.

o When iface-alias isn't in effect, don't blow away manually (via ``iface
add'') added interface addresses.

o When listening on a tcp server (diagnostic) socket, bind so that a
tcp46 socket is created -- allowing both IPv4 and IPv6 connections.

o When displaying ICMP traffic, don't display the icmp type twice.
When display traffic, display at least some information about unrecognised
traffic.

o Bump version

# 78410 18-Jun-2001 brian

Handle hardware-imposed MTU/MRU limitations. PPPoE will no longer
allow MRU/MTU negotiations to exceed 1492.

Add an optional ``max'' specifier to ``set m[rt]u'', ie.

set mtu max 1480

Bump the ppp version number.

Bring the PPPoE interface UP if required

Suggested by: archie


# 58032 14-Mar-2000 brian

The interface list that comes back from the PF_ROUTE/NET_RT_IFLIST mib
is aligned. Teach this to ``show route''.

Clean up some of the sockaddr parsing routines.

Move the code for tweaking interface flags into one function.


# 40561 22-Oct-1998 brian

Solve the ``first connection'' problem that occurs on
demand-dial links with dynamic IP numbers where the program
that causes the dial bind()s to an interface address that is
subsequently changed after ppp negotiation.

The problem is defeated by adding negotiated addresses to the
tun interface as additional alias addresses and providing a set
of ``iface'' commands for managing the interface. Libalias is
also required (and what a name clash!) - it happily IP-aliases
the address so that the source is that of the primary (negotiated)
interface and un-IP-aliases it on the way back.

An ``enable iface-alias'' is done implicitly by the -alias command
line switch. If -alias isn't given, iface-aliasing is disabled by
default and can't be enabled 'till an ``alias enable yes'' is done.
``alias enable no'' silently disables iface-alias.

So, for dynamic-IP-type-connections, running ``ppp -alias -auto blah''
will work for the first connection, although existing bindings will
not survive a disconnect/connect as the TCP peer will be trying to
send to the old IP address - the packets won't route.

It's now a lot easier to add IPXCP to ppp with minor updates to
the new iface.[ch] (if anyone ever gets 'round to it).

It's also now possible to manually add interface aliases with
something like ``iface add 1.2.3.4/24 5.6.7.8''. This allows
multi-homed ppp links :-)
