levels by which they are used. On a typical production setting (no
debug or filter logging) this will save an open/read/close system
call sequence per packet, approximately halving the system overhead
and reducing the overall overhead by 38%.

o Bump version number to 3.0.4
o When talking to a RADIUS server, provide a NAS-Port-Type.
When the NAS-Port-Type is Ethernet, provide a NAS-Port value equal
to the SESSIONID from the environment in direct mode or the
NGM_PPPOE_SESSIONID message in other modes. If no SESSIONID is found,
default to the interface index in client mode or zero in server mode.
When the NAS-Port-Type is ISDN, set the NAS-Port to the minor number
of the physical device (ie, the N in /dev/i4brbchN).
This makes it easier for the RADIUS server to identify the client
WRT accounting data etc.

and implement a far more subtle and correct fix.
The reason behind the infinite loop was that ppp was trying to make up
initial IPv6 numbers and wasn't giving up when it failed unexpectedly to
assign the addresses it just fabricated to it's interface (thinking that
the reason was because another interface was using the same address).
It now attempts this up to 100 times before just failing and trying to
muddle along (in reality, this should never happen more than a couple
of times unless our random number generator doesn't work).
Also, when IPv6 is not available, don't even try to assign the IPv6
interface address in the first place...
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

encryption compatibility with Windows 2000. Stateful encryption
uses less CPU but is bad on lossy transports.
The ``set mppe'' command has been expanded. If it's used with any
arguments, ppp will insist on encryption, closing LCP if the other
end refuses.
Unfortunately, Microsoft have abused the CCP reset request so that
receiving a reset request does not result in a reset ack when using
MPPE...

We now unwrap IP/IP and apply filter rules to both the outer
layer (with ``set filter blah x.x.x.x y.y.y.y ipip'') and to
the payload (reinterpreted by the filter rules).
``set log tcp/ip'' will now show both the outer wrapper and
the (reinterpreted) payload contents.
effect the idle timer in different ways.

With adjustments by me to document the option in the man page and to
give the same semantics for outgoing traffic as incoming.
I made the style more consistent in ip.c - this should really have
been done as a separate commit.
o If the new ``filter-decapsulation'' is enabled, delve into UDP packets
that contain 0xff 0x03 as the first two bytes, and if we recognise it
as PROTO_IP, decapsulate it for the purpose of filter checking.
If we recognise it as PROTO_<anything else> mention this for logging
purposes only.
This change is aimed at people running PPPoUDP where the UDP traffic is
being sent over another PPP link. It's desireable to have the top level
link connected all the time, but to have the bottom level link capable
of decapsulating the traffic and comparing the payload against the filters,
thus allowing ``set filter dial ...'' to work in tunnelled environments.
The caveat here is that the top ppp cannot employ any compression layers
without making the data unreadable for the bottom ppp. ``disable deflate
pred1 vj'' and ``deny deflate pred1 vj'' is suggested.
This is invaluable for dial-on-demand connections...
In ppp.linkup:
set log -dns -tcp/ip
and in ppp.linkdown
set log +dns +tcp/ip
giving a much better account of why the link came up.
ip_tos == IPTOS_LOWDELAY now get precidence over urgent
packets with ip_tos != IPTOS_LOWDELAY and non-urgent packets
with ip_tos == IPTOS_LOWDELAY.
Enhance the ``set urgent'' syntax to allow for urgent UDP
packets as well as urgent TCP packets.
(LCP/CCP/IPCP), one for urgent IP traffic and one for
everything else.
o Add the ``set urgent'' command for adjusting the list of
urgent port numbers. The default urgent ports are 21, 22,
23, 513, 514, 543 and 544 (Ports 80 and 81 have been
removed from the default priority list).
o Increase the buffered packet threshold from 20 to 30.
o Report the number of packets in the IP output queue and the
list of urgent ports under ``show ipcp''.
0.81.1 of the i4b code - namely support of the I4B_VR_REQ
ioctl via the i4brbchX device.
Ppp controls the phone number, but idle timers and
SYNC/RAW decisions are still made by isdnd (in isdnd.rc).
This involves a new datalink state machine phase. The
``wait for carrier'' phase happens after dialing but
before logging in. The whole dial state should really
be abstracted so that each device type can deal with it
in its own way (thinking about PPPoE) - but that'll have
to wait.
The ``set cd'' symantics remain the same for tty devices,
but we now delay until we either get CD or timeout waiting
(at which time we drop the link if we require CD).
For i4b devices we always insist on carrier.
Thanks to hm@ for his help, and especially for pointing out
that I *don't* need to re-implement isdnd (that was a huge
waste of time !) :-]
negate the sense of rules.
o Remove the redundant (and undocumented) ``host'' and ``port''
words (README.changes updated).
o Don't permit (and ignore) garbage instead of the protocol.

o Show more information about missing MP fragments in ``show mp''.
o Do away with mbuf_Log(). It was showing mbuf stats twice on
receipt of LCP/CCP/IPCP packets.... ???!!?
o Pre-allocate a bit extra when creating LQR packets to avoid having
to allocate another mbuf in mbuf_Prepend().
header in fsm_Input() we often end up with a NULL mbuf.
Deal with a possible NULL mbuf being passed into
mbuf_Prepend().
Adjust some spacing to make things more consistent.
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''.

removes support.
TODO: The functionality in libradius::rad_send_request() needs
to be supplied as a set of routines so that ppp doesn't
have to wait indefinitely for the radius server(s). Instead,
we need to get a descriptor back, select() on the descriptor,
and ask libradius to service it when necessary.
For now, ppp blocks SIGALRM while in rad_send_request(), so
it misses PAP/CHAP retries & timeouts if they occur.
Only PAP is functional. When CHAP is attempted, libradius
complains that no User-Password has been specified... rfc2138
says that it *mustn't* be used for CHAP :-(
