1 Supported PPP protocols and features
======================================
Supported Low level protocols:
* PPP over serial using HDLC-like framing, such as wired dialup modems
or mobile telecommunications GPRS/EDGE/UMTS/HSPA+/LTE modems
* PPP over Ethernet, such as xDSL modems
* PPP over L2TP (Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol) LAC (L2TP Access Concentrator),
IP tunnel over UDP, such as VPN access
Supported auth protocols:
* PAP, Password Authentication Protocol
* CHAP, Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol, also known as CHAP-MD5
* MSCHAPv1, Microsoft version of CHAP, version 1
* MSCHAPv2, Microsoft version of CHAP, version 2
* EAP, Extensible Authentication Protocol
Supported address protocols:
* IPCP, IP Control Protocol, IPv4 addresses negotiation
* IP6CP, IPv6 Control Protocol, IPv6 link-local addresses negotiation
Supported compression or miscellaneous protocols, for serial links only:
* PFC, Protocol Field Compression
* ACFC, Address-and-Control-Field-Compression
* ACCM, Asynchronous-Control-Character-Map
* VJ, Van Jacobson TCP/IP Header Compression
2 Raw API PPP example for all protocols
=======================================
As usual, raw API for lwIP means the lightweight API which *MUST* only be used
for NO_SYS=1 systems or called inside lwIP core thread for NO_SYS=0 systems.

* PPP status callback is called on PPP status change (up, down, …) from lwIP
* core thread
*/
/* PPP status callback example */

}
default: {
printf("status_cb: unknown err code %d\n", err_code);
break;
}
}
/*
* This should be in the switch case, this is put outside of the switch
* case for example readability.
*/
if (err_code == PPPERR_NONE) {
return;
}
/* ppp_close() was previously called, don't reconnect */
if (err_code == PPPERR_USER) {
/* ppp_free(); -- can be called here */

* to do a much better signaling here ;-)
*/
ppp_open(pcb, 30);

/* Set this interface as default route */
ppp_set_default(ppp);
/*

* =======================
*/
/*
* Initiate PPP negotiation, without waiting (holdoff=0), can only be called
* if PPP session is in the dead state (i.e. disconnected).
*/
ppp_open(ppp, 0);
/*
* Closing PPP connection
* ======================
*/
/* You can call this function anytime */
ppp_close(ppp);
/*
* Then you must wait your status_cb() to be called, it may takes from a few
* seconds to several tens of seconds depending on the current PPP state.
*/
/*
* Freeing a PPP connection
* ========================
*/
/*
* Free the PPP control block, can only be called if PPP session is in the
* dead state (i.e. disconnected). You need to call ppp_close() before.
*/
ppp_free(ppp);
3 PPPoS input path (raw API and thread safe API)
================================================
PPPoS require a serial I/O SIO port (see include/lwip/sio.h). Received data
on serial port should be sent to lwIP using the pppos_input() function.
This function is not thread-safe by default, setting PPP_INPROC_MULTITHREADED
to a true value in your lwipopts.h file makes pppos_input() thread safe.
/*
* Fonction to call for received data
*
* ppp, PPP control block
* buffer, input buffer
* buffer_len, buffer length in bytes
*/
void pppos_input(ppp, buffer, buffer_len);
4 Thread safe PPP API (PPPAPI)
==============================
There is a thread safe API for all corresponding ppp_* functions, you have to
enable LWIP_PPP_API in your lwipopts.h file, then see include/lwip/pppapi.h,
this is actually pretty obvious.
5 Upgrading from lwIP <= 1.4.x to lwIP >= 1.5.x
===============================================
PPP API was fully reworked between 1.4.x and 1.5.x releases. However porting
from previous lwIP version is pretty easy:
* Previous PPP API used an integer to identify PPP sessions, we are now
using ppp_pcb* control block, therefore all functions changed from "int ppp"
to "ppp_pcb *ppp"
* struct netif was moved outside the PPP structure, you have to provide a netif
for PPP interface in pppoX_create() functions
* PPP session are not started automatically after you created them anymore,
you have to call ppp_open(), this way you can configure the session before
starting it.
* Previous PPP API used CamelCase, we are now using snake_case.
* Previous PPP API mixed PPPoS and PPPoE calls, this isn't the case anymore,
PPPoS functions are now prefixed pppos_ and PPPoE functions are now prefixed
pppoe_, common functions are now prefixed ppp_.
* New PPPERR_ error codes added, check you have all of them in your status
callback function
* Only the following include files should now be used in user application:
#include "lwip/pppapi.h"
#include "netif/ppp/pppos.h"
#include "netif/ppp/pppoe.h"
#include "netif/ppp/pppol2tp.h"
Functions from ppp.h can be used, but you don't need to include this header
file as it is already included by above header files.
* PPP_INPROC_OWNTHREAD was broken by design and was removed, you have to create
your own rx thread
* If you used tcpip_callback_with_block() on ppp_ functions you may wish to use
the PPPAPI API instead.
