thresholds (in terms of queued packets for a period of time)
where -auto links will be brought up and down. By default,
all auto links come up when we reach NETWORK phase and never
go down.
o Display current autoload state in `show bundle'.
o Disable the idle timer as soon as it's called.
o Disable the idle and autoload timers when exiting (in case
we're abending).
is not possible to switch to or from dedicated or direct mode,
but all other combinations are ok (eg. -auto -> -ddial).
o Cope with the fact that commands with optional context may not
be able to obtain a link with command_ChooseLink() (if all links
have been deleted for example).
o Allow `clone'ing in non-multilink mode. We may for example want
to configure two links in unilink mode and dial them both, using
the one that comes up first. It's also possible to rename
``deflink'' by cloning it, deleting the original, then setting
the mode of the new link.
the bundle has the opportunity to go PHASE_DEAD and cleanup
the interface (if it's the last link).
o Regnerate our phys_type value when we transfer the link.
o Always clean up the interface when destroying our bundle in case
we're abending.
o Always clean up our interface when the last link is gone rather than
delaying things 'till exit time in the -direct case (the interface
is useless anyway). Do this *after* slamming down our NCPs (if
they're still around).
o Our MP server descriptor now clears the relevent device descriptor
from our descriptor [fd]sets when a datalink is on death-row (to
be transferred to another running ppp), thus avoiding the possibility
of passing a bum descriptor to select() and having ppp abend.
o Handle the MP socket descriptor functions from within the bundle
descriptor functions. Now we ensure that the MP socket descriptor
functions see the descriptor sets *after* they've been seen by our
datalinks.
o Add/fix a few more comments.
into the ST_STOPPED state.
o Allow an optional ccp|lcp argument to `down'. The default is
still lcp (as before). You can now call down with no context
in multilink mode, in which case it'll down the multilink ccp
or the entire bundle (*very* rude).
o Allow an optional `!' after `close ccp' (close ccp!) to tell
ccp to stay in the CLOSED state after the terminate ACK. The
default is now to re-enter STOPPED so that the peer can bring
the layer back up if desired.
o Always handle proto-compressed packets, even if we've agreed
(in LCP) that the peer will not send us 1 byte protocols.
If the peer violates the LCP agreement, log it to the HDLC
log.
o Fix some comments.
o Log FD_SET()s in LogTIMER.
o Identify the descriptor that causes an EBADF from select()
if LogTIMER is enabled (then exit).
o Call the MP server UpdateSet() function after calling
the UpdateSet() for all links - the link may enter
PHASE_TERMINATE and bring down the MP server - breaking
the imminent select().
the first ``%d'' in the unix-domain socket name with the
current interface unit number. In the case of tcp ports, allow
a ``+'' prefix to add the unit number to the specified port
number.
o Remove all mention of SIGUSR1 (was already #ifdef'd out). We
can't create diagnostic sockets on-the-fly with a signal any
more because there's no way of specifying the password without
confusing matters with the previous ppp.secret scenario.
LQM and HDLC timer diagnostics come out with the correct name.
o Don't send an LQR immediately upon reviving a datalink. Leave
it 'till the next timeout.
o Add the link name to some more LQR diagnostics.
o Break out of the main loop when a descriptor exception is seen
in select().
o Remove the evil nointr_[u]sleep() functions. Timers should be
(and are) used instead.
o Treat a read() of 0 bytes as an error that's fatal to the link
on which the read() is done. We should never read() 0 after
select() says there's something there - not unless the link
has been closed by the other side.
o Write the data seen before a HDLC header to the terminal in
`term' mode, *not* back to the modem :-/
o Initialise our transmitted file descriptor before starting any
timers.
o Only send data links that have *no* pending output data. This
means that our final ACK will be written rather than being
nuked with the datalink transmission.
for the last NCP TLF.
o Move tun reading from the main loop into the bundle descriptor
handling routines.
o Cosmetic: Add a few `const's and make some diagnostics clearer.
Any `add' or `delete' command that uses MYADDR or HISADDR
will be added to the sticky route list (show ipcp). When
MYADDR or HISADDR change due to IPCP negotiations, and if
`sroutes' is enabled (the default), all sticky route
entries are updated in the routing table.
The end result is that `add default hisaddr' will ``stick'',
as will ``add myaddr 255.255.255.255 127.0.0.1'' and
``add 1.2.3.4 255.255.255.0 hisaddr''.
according to SHORTSEQ negotiation.
o Don't forget to attach incoming fragments with a
number greater than everything else in the queue
(rather than leaking memory).
o Output the link name with the ``other'' hdlc
diagnostic message.
o Correct a VJ diagnostic (`COMPPROTO', not `proto').
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 !

exec()ing. Tidy up file dups in general prior to exec().
This prevents our tun device (fd 3) from staying open (and
configured) despite handing off all it's links and exiting
(because ``cat'' holds it open).
o Don't bother SIG_DFL'ing signals before exec() as they're
already trapped with specific handlers and will be handled
correctly by the exec.
o Use values from paths.h for "/dev/" and "/dev/tty".
o Don't assert() in physical.c.

o Use _PATH_DEVNULL rather than "/dev/null"
o Be more paranoid about nuking running timers when
transferring links.
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).
