NG_PPPOE(4)		 BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual		   NG_PPPOE(4)

NAME
     ng_pppoe -- RFC 2516 PPPoE	protocol netgraph node type

SYNOPSIS
     #include <sys/types.h>
     #include <net/ethernet.h>
     #include <netgraph.h>
     #include <netgraph/ng_pppoe.h>

DESCRIPTION
     The pppoe node type performs the PPPoE protocol.  It is used in conjunc-
     tion with the netgraph(4) extensions to the Ethernet framework to divert
     and inject	Ethernet packets to and	from a PPP agent (which	is not speci-
     fied).

     The NGM_PPPOE_GET_STATUS control message can be used at any time to query
     the current status	of the PPPoE module.  The only statistics presently
     available are the total packet counts for input and output.  This node
     does not yet support the NGM_TEXT_STATUS control message.

HOOKS
     This node type supports the following hooks:

     ethernet	    The	hook that should normally be connected to an
		    ng_ether(4)	node.  Once connected, ng_pppoe	will send a
		    message down this hook to determine	Ethernet address of
		    the	underlying node.  Obtained address will	be stored and
		    then used for outgoing datagrams.

     debug	    Presently no use.

     [unspecified]  Any	other name is assumed to be a session hook that	will
		    be connected to a PPP client agent,	or a PPP server	agent.

CONTROL	MESSAGES
     This node type supports the generic control messages, plus	the following:

     NGM_PPPOE_GET_STATUS
	  This command returns status information in a struct ngpppoestat:

	      struct ngpppoestat {
		  u_int	  packets_in;	  /* packets in	from Ethernet */
		  u_int	  packets_out;	  /* packets out towards Ethernet */
	      };

     NGM_TEXT_STATUS
	  This generic message returns a human-readable	version	of the node
	  status.  (not	yet)

     NGM_PPPOE_CONNECT
	  Tell a nominated newly created hook that its session should enter
	  the state machine as a client.  It must be newly created and a ser-
	  vice name can	be given as an argument.  It is	legal to specify a
	  zero-length service name, this is common on some DSL setups.	It is
	  possible to request a	connection to a	specific access	concentrator
	  by its name using the	"AC-Name\Service-Name" syntax.	A session re-
	  quest	packet will be broadcasted on the Ethernet.  This command uses
	  the ngpppoe_init_data	structure shown	below.

     NGM_PPPOE_LISTEN
	  Tell a nominated newly created hook that its session should enter
	  the state machine as a server	listener.  The argument	given is the
	  name of the service to listen	for.  A	zero-length service name will
	  match	all requests for service.  A matching service request packet
	  will be passed unmodified back to the	process	responsible for	start-
	  ing the service.  It can then	examine	it and pass it on to the ses-
	  sion that is started to answer the request.  This command uses the
	  ngpppoe_init_data structure shown below.

     NGM_PPPOE_OFFER
	  Tell a nominated newly created hook that its session should enter
	  the state machine as a server.  The argument given is	the name of
	  the service to offer.	 A zero-length service is legal.  The State
	  machine will progress	to a state where it will await a request
	  packet to be forwarded to it from the	startup	server,	which in turn
	  probably received it from a LISTEN mode hook (see above).  This is
	  so that information that is required for the session that is embed-
	  ded in the original session request packet, is made available	to the
	  state	machine	that eventually	answers	the request.  When the Session
	  request packet is received, the session negotiation will proceed.
	  This command uses the	ngpppoe_init_data structure shown below.

     The three commands	above use a common data	structure:

	 struct	ngpppoe_init_data {
	     char	hook[NG_HOOKSIZ];	/* hook	to monitor on */
	     u_int16_t	data_len;		/* service name	length */
	     char	data[0];		/* init	data goes here */
	 };

     NGM_PPPOE_SUCCESS
	  This command is sent to the node that	started	this session with one
	  of the above messages, and reports a state change.  This message re-
	  ports	successful Session negotiation.	 It uses the structure shown
	  below, and reports back the hook name	corresponding to the success-
	  ful session.

     NGM_PPPOE_FAIL
	  This command is sent to the node that	started	this session with one
	  of the above messages, and reports a state change.  This message re-
	  ports	failed Session negotiation.  It	uses the structure shown be-
	  low, and reports back	the hook name corresponding to the failed ses-
	  sion.	 The hook will probably	have been removed immediately after
	  sending this message.

     NGM_PPPOE_CLOSE
	  This command is sent to the node that	started	this session with one
	  of the above messages, and reports a state change.  This message re-
	  ports	a request to close a session.  It uses the structure shown be-
	  low, and reports back	the hook name corresponding to the closed ses-
	  sion.	 The hook will probably	have been removed immediately after
	  sending this message.	 At present this message is not	yet used and a
	  NGM_PPPOE_FAIL message will be received at closure instead.

     NGM_PPPOE_ACNAME
	  This command is sent to the node that	started	this session with one
	  of the above messages, and reports the Access	Concentrator Name.

     The four commands above use a common data structure:

	 struct	ngpppoe_sts {
	     char    hook[NG_HOOKSIZ];	  /* hook associated with event	session	*/
	 };

     NGM_PPPOE_GETMODE
	  This command returns the current compatibility mode of the node as a
	  string.  ASCII form of this message is "pppoe_getmode".  The follow-
	  ing keywords can be returned:

	  "standard"
	       The node	operates according to RFC 2516.

	  "3Com"
	       When ng_pppoe is	a PPPoE	client,	it initiates a session encap-
	       sulating	packets	into incorrect 3Com ethertypes.	 This compati-
	       bility option does not affect server mode.  In server mode
	       ng_pppoe	supports both modes simultaneously, depending on the
	       ethertype, the client used when connecting.

	  "D-Link"
	       When ng_pppoe is	a PPPoE	server serving only specific Service-
	       Name(s),	it will	respond	to a PADI requests with	empty Service-
	       Name tag, returning all available Service-Name(s) on node.
	       This option is necessary	for compatibility with D-Link DI-614+
	       and DI-624+ SOHO	routers	as clients, when serving only specific
	       Service-Name.  This compatibility option	does not affect	client
	       mode.

     NGM_PPPOE_SETMODE
	  Configure node to the	specified mode.	 The string argument is	re-
	  quired.  This	command	understands the	same keywords that are re-
	  turned by the	NGM_PPPOE_GETMODE command.  ASCII form of this message
	  is "pppoe_setmode".  For example, the	following command will config-
	  ure the node to initiate the next session in the proprietary 3Com
	  mode:

		ngctl msg fxp0:orphans pppoe_setmode '"3Com"'

     NGM_PPPOE_SETENADDR
	  Set the node Ethernet	address	for outgoing datagrams.	 This message
	  is important when a node has failed to obtain	an Ethernet address
	  from its peer	on the ethernet	hook, or when user wants to override
	  this address with another one.  ASCII	form of	this message is
	  "setenaddr".

SHUTDOWN
     This node shuts down upon receipt of a NGM_SHUTDOWN control message, when
     all session have been disconnected	or when	the ethernet hook is discon-
     nected.

EXAMPLES
     The following code	uses libnetgraph to set	up a ng_pppoe node and connect
     it	to both	a socket node and an Ethernet node.  It	can handle the case of
     when a ng_pppoe node is already attached to the Ethernet.	It then	starts
     a client session.
