|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm ng_pptpgre
|
|
.Nd PPTP GRE protocol netgraph node type
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In sys/types.h
|
|
.In netgraph/ng_pptpgre.h
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm pptpgre
|
|
node type performs Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) over IP
|
|
for the PPTP protocol as specified by RFC 2637.
|
|
This involves packet
|
|
encapsulation, sequencing, acknowledgement, and an adaptive timeout
|
|
sliding window mechanism.
|
|
This node type does not handle any of
|
|
the TCP control protocol or call negotiation defined by PPTP.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This node type expects to receive complete IP packets,
|
|
including the IP header, on the
|
|
.Dq Li lower
|
|
hook, but it transmits outgoing frames without any IP header.
|
|
The typical use for this node type would be to connect the
|
|
.Dq Li upper
|
|
hook to one of the link hooks of a
|
|
.Xr ng_ppp 4
|
|
node, and the
|
|
.Dq Li lower
|
|
hook to the
|
|
.Dq Li "inet/raw/gre"
|
|
hook of a
|
|
.Xr ng_ksocket 4
|
|
node.
|
|
.Sh HOOKS
|
|
This node type supports the following hooks:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Va session_hhhh"
|
|
.It Va session_hhhh
|
|
Session 0xhhhh data packets to the upper protocol layers
|
|
.It Va upper
|
|
Same as session_hhhh, but for single session with configurable cid (legacy)
|
|
.It Va lower
|
|
Connection to the lower protocol layers
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh CONTROL MESSAGES
|
|
This node type supports the generic control messages, plus the following:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width foo
|
|
.It Dv NGM_PPTPGRE_SET_CONFIG Pq Ic setconfig
|
|
This command resets and configures hook for a session. If corresponding
|
|
session_hhhh hook is not connected, upper hook will be configured.
|
|
This command takes a
|
|
.Vt "struct ng_pptpgre_conf"
|
|
as an argument:
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
/* Configuration for a session */
|
|
struct ng_pptpgre_conf {
|
|
u_char enabled; /* enables traffic flow */
|
|
u_char enableDelayedAck; /* enables delayed acks */
|
|
u_char enableAlwaysAck; /* always include ack with data */
|
|
u_char enableWindowing; /* enable windowing algorithm */
|
|
uint16_t cid; /* my call id */
|
|
uint16_t peerCid; /* peer call id */
|
|
uint16_t recvWin; /* peer recv window size */
|
|
uint16_t peerPpd; /* peer packet processing delay
|
|
(in 1/10 of a second) */
|
|
};
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Va enabled
|
|
field enables traffic flow through the node.
|
|
The
|
|
.Va enableDelayedAck
|
|
field enables delayed acknowledgement (maximum 250 milliseconds), which
|
|
is a useful optimization and should generally be turned on.
|
|
.Va enableAlwaysAck
|
|
field enables sending acknowledgements with every data packet, which
|
|
is probably helpful as well.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Va enableWindowing
|
|
enables the PPTP packet windowing mechanism specified by the protocol.
|
|
Disabling this will cause the node to violate the protocol, possibly
|
|
confusing other PPTP peers, but often results in better performance.
|
|
The windowing mechanism is a design error in the PPTP protocol;
|
|
L2TP, the successor to PPTP, removes it.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The remaining fields are as supplied by the PPTP virtual call setup process.
|
|
.It Dv NGM_PPTPGRE_GET_CONFIG Pq Ic getconfig
|
|
Takes two byte argument as cid and returns the current configuration as a
|
|
.Vt "struct ng_pptpgre_conf" .
|
|
.It Dv NGM_PPTPGRE_GET_STATS Pq Ic getstats
|
|
This command returns a
|
|
.Vt "struct ng_pptpgre_stats"
|
|
containing various node statistics.
|
|
.It Dv NGM_PPTPGRE_CLR_STATS Pq Ic clrstats
|
|
This command resets the node statistics.
|
|
.It Dv NGM_PPTPGRE_GETCLR_STATS Pq Ic getclrstats
|
|
This command atomically gets and resets the node statistics, returning a
|
|
.Vt "struct ng_pptpgre_stats" .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh SHUTDOWN
|
|
This node shuts down upon receipt of a
|
|
.Dv NGM_SHUTDOWN
|
|
control message, or when both hooks have been disconnected.

|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The node should not expect incoming GRE packets to have an IP header.
|
|
This behavior is inherited from the (converse) behavior of raw IP sockets.
|
|
An intermediate node that strips IP headers in one direction
|
|
should be used instead.
