The lwIP PPP support is based from pppd 2.4.5 (http://ppp.samba.org) with
huge changes to match code size and memory requirements for embedded devices.
Anyway, pppd has a mature codebase for years and the average commit count
is getting low on their Git repositories, meaning that we can follow what
is happening on their side and merge what is relevant for lwIP.
So, here is the pppd follow up, so that we don't get away too far from pppd.
== Patch fetched from from pppd Debian packages ==
This has nothing to do with pppd, but we merged some good patch from
Debian and this is a good place to be.
- LCP adaptive echo, so that we don't send LCP echo request if we
are receiving data from peer, can be enabled by setting PPP_LCP_ADAPTIVE
to true.
- IPCP no/replace default route option, were added in the early stage of
the ppp port, but it wasn't really helpful and was disabled when adding
the new API ppp_set_default() call, which gives the lwIP user control over
which one is the default interface, it was actually a requirement if you
are doing PPP over PPP (i.e. PPPoL2TP, VPN link, over PPPoE, ADSL link).
- using rp-pppoe pppd exits with EXIT_OK after receiving a timeout waiting
for PADO due to no modem attached, bug reported to pppd bug tracker, fixed
in Debian but not in the latest (at the time when the port were started)
pppd release.
== Commits on pppd ==
2010-03-06 - Document +ipv6 and ipv6cp-accept-local
e7537958aee79b3f653c601e903cb31d78fb7dcc
Don't care.
2010-03-06 - Install pppol2tp plugins with sane permissions
406215672cfadc03017341fe03802d1c7294b903
Don't care.
2010-03-07 - pppd: Terminate correctly if lcp_lowerup delayed calling
fsm_lowerup
3eb9e810cfa515543655659b72dde30c54fea0a5
Merged 2012-05-17.
2010-03-07 - rp_pppoe: Copy acName and pppd_pppoe_service after option parsing
cab58617fd9d328029fffabc788020264b4fa91f
Don't care, is a patch for pppd/plugins/rp-pppoe/plugin.c which is not part
of the port.
2010-08-23 - set and reset options to control environment variables
for scripts.
2b6310fd24dba8e0fca8999916a162f0a1842a84
We can't fork processes in embedded, therefore all the pppd process run
feature is disabled in the port, so we don't care about the new
"environment variables" pppd feature.
2010-08-23 - Nit: use _exit when exec fails and restrict values to 0-255
per POSIX.
2b4ea140432eeba5a007c0d4e6236bd0e0c12ba4
Again, we are not running as a heavy process, so all exit() or _exit() calls
were removed.
2010-08-23 - Fix quote handling in configuration files to be more like shell
quoting.
3089132cdf5b58dbdfc2daf08ec5c08eb47f8aca
We are not parsing config file, all the filesystem I/O stuff were disabled
in our port.
2010-08-24 - rp-pppoe: allow MTU to be increased up to 1500
fd1dcdf758418f040da3ed801ab001b5e46854e7
Only concern changes on RP-PPPoE plugin, which we don't use.
2010-09-11 - chat: Allow TIMEOUT value to come from environment variable
ae80bf833e48a6202f44a935a68083ae52ad3824
See 2b6310fd24dba8e0fca8999916a162f0a1842a84.
2011-03-05 - pppdump: Fix printfs with insufficient arguments
7b8db569642c83ba3283745034f2e2c95e459423
pppdump is a ppp tool outside pppd source tree.
2012-05-06 - pppd: Don't unconditionally disable VJ compression under Linux
d8a66adf98a0e525cf38031b42098d539da6eeb6
Patch for sys-linux.c, which we don't use.
2012-05-20 - Remove old version of Linux if_pppol2tp.h

Not in the port.
2012-05-20 - pppd: Make MSCHAP-v2 cope better with packet loss
08ef47ca532294eb428238c831616748940e24a2
This is an interesting patch. However it consumes much more memory for
MSCHAP and I am not sure if the benefit worth it. The PPP client can
always start the authentication again if it failed for whatever reason.
2012-05-20 - scripts: Make poff ignore extra arguments to pppd
18f515f32c9f5723a9c2c912601e04335106534b

This is just a patch that adds plugins hooks for IPv6, the plugin interface
was disabled because we don't have .so plugins in embedded.
2012-05-20 - pppd: Enable IPV6 by default and fix some warnings
0b6118239615e98959f7e0b4e746bdd197533248
Change on Makefile for IPv6, warnings were already cleared during port.
2012-05-20 - contrib: Fix pppgetpass.gtk compilation
