Add a rather complicated but impressive example of how

to implement multi-link ppp over more than one ISP with
the ability to lose ISPs without loss of connectivity.

It *requires* that you either have administrative access
to a machine that's already connected to the 'net or at
least know a really nice person that does.

# $Id:$
# This advanced ppp configuration file explains how to implement
# the following:
#
# ------------- ------------- -------------
# | host1 | | host2 | | host3 |
# ------------- ------------- -------------
# | | |
# |---------------------- LAN ----------------------|
# |
# -------------
# | Gateway |
# -------------
# |
# -----------------------------------
# | | | |
# isp1 isp2 isp3 ispN
# | | | |
# -----------------------------------
# |
# ------------
# | Receiver |
# ------------
# |
# Internet
#
# The connection is implemented so that any ISP connection can go down
# without loss of connectivity between the LAN and the Internet. It is
# of course also possible to shut down any link manually.
#
# There is a working example in ppp.*.span-isp.working that can be tested
# on a single machine !
#
#
# Prerequisites:
#
# o The Receiver machine must be in the outside world and must be willing
# to accept a multilink ppp connection over UDP, assigning a routable IP
# number to the Gateway machine. This probably means that it must be
# a *BSD box as I know of no other ppp implementations that can use UDP
# as a transport.
#
# o The Receiver machine must be multi-homed with at least N+1 addresses
# where N is the maximun number of ISPs that you wish to use
# simultaneously. We assume the IP numbers to be RIP1, RIP2 ... RIPN.
# REAL-LOCAL-IP is the real IP number of the Receiver machine (and must
# not be the same as any of the RIP* numbers).
#
# o Both the Gateway and the Receiver machines must have several tun
# interfaces configured into the kernel (see below).
#
# o Both the Gateway and the Receiver machines must have the following
# entry in /etc/services:
#
# ppp 6671/udp
#
# The port number isn't important, but it must be consistent across
# machines.
#
# o The Receiver machine must have the following entry in
# /etc/inetd.conf:
#
# ppp dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/ppp ppp -direct vpn-in
#
# Note: Because inetd ``wait''s for ppp to finish, a single ppp
# invocation receives all incoming packets. This creates
# havoc with LQR magic number checks, so LQR *must not* be
# enabled.
# Also, -direct invocations of ppp do sendto()s using the
# address that was last recvfrom()d. This means that the
# returning traffic is a bit unbalanced. Perhaps ppp should
# be smart enough to automatically clone an existing link
# when it detects a new incoming address.... tricky !
#
# If you use ppp to connect to your ISPs, the isp* profiles shold be used,
# resulting in the vpn* profiles being called from ppp.linkup.span-isp.
# These invocations will bond together into a MP ppp invocation.
#
# If the link to your ISP is via another type of interface (cable modem
# etc), simply configure the interface with a netmask of 0xffffffff and
# add a route to RIPN via the interface address (no default). You can
# then start ppp using the vpn-nic label.
#
# The Receiver machine should have N tun interfaces (where N is the maximum
# number of ISPs that you wish to use simultaneously). The Gateway machine
# requires N interfaces plus an additional N interfaces (total 2 * N) if
# you're using ppp to talk to the ISPs.
# Using ppp to connect to your ISPs (PPP over UDP over PPP):
#
# When we connect to our ISPs using ppp, we start the MP ppp invocation
# from ppp.linkup (see ppp.linkup.span-isp) for each link. We also remove
# the link from ppp.linkdown (see ppp.linkdown.span-isp). This is necessary
# because relying on our LQR strategy (dropping the link after 5 missing
# replies) is just too slow to be practical in this environment.
#
# This works because the MP invocations are smart enough to recognise that
# another process is already running and to pass the link over to that
# running version.
#
# Only the ISP links should be started manually. When they come up, they'll
# start the MP invocation.

# The Receiver profile is a bit more straight forward, as it doesn't need

# Something rather strange happens here.
# If you connect to the vpn-in diagnostic socket with ``pppctl
# /var/tmp/vpn-in'' and do a ``show links'', only a single link shows up.
# If you connect to the vpn diagnostic socket (which is created in
# ppp.linkup.span-isp.working, you see three links. This is because inetd
# is told to ``wait'' for ppp to finish and the receiving ppp gets to
# handle all incoming packets on the first descriptor.
#
# This is why enabling LQR won't work - VPN-IN has magic number problems,
# fails to reply to LQRs and the VPN invocations end up shutting down.
#
# If anyone can come up with a better way of doing PPP over UDP I'd be
# interrested to hear it. Currently, the server doesn't connect() or
# bind().... but the client connect()s. Is there any other way ?
