the layering.
We now ``stack'' layers as soon as we open the device (when we figure
out what we're dealing with). A static set of `dispatch' routines are
also declared for dealing with incoming packets after they've been
`pulled' up through the stacked layers.
Physical devices are now assigned handlers based on the device type
when they're opened. For the moment there are three device types;
ttys, execs and tcps.
o Increment version number to 2.2
o Make an entry in [uw]tmp for non-tty -direct invocations (after
pap/chap authentication).
o Make throughput counters quad_t's
o Account for the absolute number of mbuf malloc()s and free()s in
``show mem''.
o ``show modem'' becomes ``show physical''.
anything for two mintues (see ``set choked'' and ``show
bundle''), nuke the ip, mp and link level buffer queues.
This should fix problems where ``ppp -auto'' seems to stop
responding after failing to connect to the peer a few times.
incoming fragments when a link goes down.
o Don't use the minimum sequence numbers of links that aren't open.
o Understand sequence number wrapping when determining the minimum
sequence number.
o Add & adjust a few comments.
throughput measurement is enabled).
o Load balance the links based on weight *and* on a round-robin
basis. This makes things fairly even on an output basis. We
don't try to allow for the peer sending all his data down one
link (and try to send ours back up the other).
o Show the number of pending input buffers that can't be processed
in ``show mp''.
o Fix a typo in the man page.
using the scatter/gather array to transfer the link
information. The whole link is now passed in one message.
This is far better than the two `/bin/cat' processes per additional
link :-) I remember years ago thinking that file descriptor
transferral would be a really amazing facility !

log debug'' without filling our filesystem/screen with
junk that we don't really want to see.
o change PHYS_STDIN to PHYS_DIRECT - we can handle incoming
connections that aren't on STDIN_FILENO now.
o Allow return values from our FSM LayerUp functions. If
LayerUp() fails, the FSM does an immediate FsmDown() without
calling the fsm_parent's Layer{Up,Down} functions.
o Clear the close-on-exec flag of file descriptor 3 when executing
chat programs so that our documented ability to communicate with
/dev/tty via that descriptor works. Also document it as
descriptor 3, not 4 :-O
o Allow a ``rm'' command as an alias for ``remove''.
o Fix the bind()/connect()/accept() calls made by the MP server.
o Create bundle_SendDatalink() and bundle_ReceiveDatalink().
This allows `struct datalink's to flatten themselves, pass
through a pipe (read: the eye of a needle !) and come alive
at the other end. The donator then fork()s & exec()s pppmpipe,
``passing'' the connection to another ppp instance.
*** PPP NOW TALKS MULTILINK :-))) ***
Our link utilization is hideous, and lots of code needs
tidying still. It's also probably riddled with bugs !
It's been tested against itself only, and has hung once,
so confidence isn't high....
o Create struct mpserver as part of struct mp.
mpserver creates a unix-domain socket based on the
peers auth name and endpoint discriminator. If it
already exists, ppp will ``pass the link'' over to
the owner of the socket, joining it into the bundle
of another ppp invocation, otherwise ppp waits for
other invocations to pass it links through this
socket.
The final piece of code will be the code that flattens
our datalink info and passes it down this channel
(not yet implemented).
we've determined if we're going to join another ppp invocation.
o Make ``show link'' show all link details, and ``show links''
just give a list of links and their current status.
o Show our current label in ``show bundle''.
o Allow link cloning and removal as soon as our MRRU is set.
o Make ``show lcp'' require context as nothing will ever change
in our MP LCP (it's auto-configured as per rfc1990).
o Initialise our LQM owner in hdlc_Init().
o Store our endpoint discriminator and authentication name at both
the datalink and multilink level and compare them when we've
finished AUTHENTICATE phase and before entering NETWORK phase.
If they don't match, close the link again.
Display the information in the appropriate ``show'' command.
o Initialise datalink::phone and datalink::fsmp.object properly
when we're cloning the link.
o Show which link we're passing LQRs on in our diagnostics.
o Reject endpoint discriminator REQs at the logical multilink
level.
o Remove the rest of our CARRIER and LINK logging setup.
first link in mp_Up().
o Bring MP and its CCP down when we enter phase TERMINATE,
and ditch everything in the incoming packet queue.
o Enable MRRU negotiation. Now, we can multilink
mode, but only with one physical link.
o Close the link if the peer PROTO REJs PROTO_MP.
o Prepend our protocol before passing a packet to
struct mp for fragmentation.
o Log info messages to DEBUG, not ERROR (oops).
o Align `show mp' output (again).
multilink ('cos I've seen my ISP REQ it without multilink).
Setting MRRU is ifdef'd out until it's debugged and we can
merge -direct links with other running programs.
Fix MTU setting.
o Move Var*Version into command.c
o Remove struct pppVars (and there was much rejoicing) !
o Forward-decl some structs in .h files to avoid include
ordering requirements and remove a few more redundant
#includes.
o Remove bundle2lcp(), bundle2ccp() and bundle2link().
They're too resource-hungry and we have `owner pointers'
to do their job.
o Make our FSM understand LCPs that are always ST_OPENED
(with a minimum code that != 1).
o Send FSM code rejects for invalid codes.
o Make our bundle fsm_parent deal with multiple links.
o Make timer diagnostics pretty and allow access via ~t
in `term' mode (not just when logging debug) and
`show timers'. Only show timers every second in debug
mode, otherwise we get too many diagnostics to be useful
(we probably still do). Also, don't restrict ~m in term
mode to depend on debug logging.
o Rationalise our bundles' phases.
o Create struct mp (multilink protocol). This is both an
NCP and a type of struct link. It feeds off other NCPs
for output, passing fragmented packets into the queues
of available datalinks. It also gets PROTO_MP input,
reassembles the fragments into ppp frames, and passes
them back to the HDLC layer that the fragments were passed
from.
** It's not yet possible to enter multilink mode :-( **
o Add `set weight' (requires context) for deciding on a links
weighting in multilink mode. Weighting is simplistic (and
probably badly implemented) for now.
o Remove the function pointers in struct link. They ended up
only applying to physical links.
o Configure our tun device with an MTU equal to the MRU from
struct mp's LCP and a speed equal to the sum of our link
speeds.
o `show {lcp,ccp,proto}' and `set deflate' now have optional
context and use ChooseLink() to decide on which `struct link'
to use. This allows behaviour as before when in non-multilink
mode, and allows access to the MP logical link in multilink
mode.
o Ignore reconnect and redial values when in -direct mode and
when cleaning up. Always redial when in -ddial or -dedicated
mode (unless cleaning up).
o Tell our links to `staydown' when we close them due to a signal.
o Remove remaining `#ifdef SIGALRM's (ppp doesn't function without
alarms).
o Don't bother strdup()ing our physical link name.
o Various other cosmetic changes.
