39.Dt NG_MPPC 4
40.Os
41.Sh NAME
42.Nm ng_mppc
43.Nd Microsoft MPPC/MPPE compression and encryption netgraph node type
44.Sh SYNOPSIS
45.In sys/types.h
46.In netgraph/ng_mppc.h
47.Sh DESCRIPTION
48The
49.Nm mppc
50node type implements the Microsoft Point-to-Point Compression (MPPC)
51and Microsoft Point-to-Point Encryption (MPPE) sub-protocols of
52the PPP protocol.
53These protocols are often used in conjunction with the Point-to-Point
54Tunneling Protocol (PPTP).
55.Pp
56The node has two hooks,
57.Dv "comp"
58for compression and
59.Dv "decomp"
60for decompression.
61Typically one or both of these hooks would be connected to the
62.Xr ng_ppp 4
63node type hook of the same name.
64Each direction of traffic flow is independent of the other.
65.Sh HOOKS
66This node type supports the following hooks:
67.Bl -tag -width ".Va decomp"
68.It Va comp
69Connection to
70.Xr ng_ppp 4
71.Dv "comp"
72hook.
73Incoming frames are compressed and/or encrypted, and sent
74back out the same hook.
75.It Va decomp
76Connection to
77.Xr ng_ppp 4
78.Dv "decomp"
79hook.
80Incoming frames are decompressed and/or decrypted, and sent
81back out the same hook.
82.El
83.Sh CONTROL MESSAGES
84This node type supports the generic control messages, plus the following:
85.Bl -tag -width foo
86.It Dv NGM_MPPC_CONFIG_COMP
87This command resets and configures the node for a session in the
88outgoing traffic direction (i.e., for compression and/or encryption).
89This command takes a
90.Dv "struct ng_mppc_config"
91as an argument:
92.Bd -literal -offset 0n
93/* Length of MPPE key */
94#define MPPE_KEY_LEN      16
95
96/* MPPC/MPPE PPP negotiation bits */
97#define MPPC_BIT          0x00000001      /* mppc compression bits */
98#define MPPE_40           0x00000020      /* use 40 bit key */
99#define MPPE_56           0x00000080      /* use 56 bit key */
100#define MPPE_128          0x00000040      /* use 128 bit key */
101#define MPPE_BITS         0x000000e0      /* mppe encryption bits */
102#define MPPE_STATELESS    0x01000000      /* use stateless mode */
103#define MPPC_VALID_BITS   0x010000e1      /* possibly valid bits */
104
105/* Configuration for a session */
106struct ng_mppc_config {
107    u_char    enable;                 /* enable */
108    uint32_t  bits;                   /* config bits */
109    u_char    startkey[MPPE_KEY_LEN]; /* start key */
110};
111
112.Ed
113The
114.Dv enabled
115field enables traffic flow through the node.
116The
117.Dv bits
118field contains the bits as negotiated by the Compression Control Protocol
119(CCP) in PPP.
120The
121.Dv startkey
122is only necessary if MPPE was negotiated, and must be equal to the
123session start key as defined for MPPE.
124This key is based on the MS-CHAP credentials used at link authentication time.
125.It Dv NGM_MPPC_CONFIG_DECOMP
126This command resets and configures the node for a session in the
127incoming traffic direction (i.e., for decompression and/or decryption).
128This command takes a
129.Dv "struct ng_mppc_config"
130as an argument.
131.It Dv NGM_MPPC_RESETREQ
132This message contains no arguments, and is bi-directional.
133If an error is detected during decompression, this message is sent by the
134node to the originator of the
135.Dv NGM_MPPC_CONFIG_DECOMP
136message that initiated the session.
137The receiver should respond by sending a PPP CCP Reset-Request to the peer.
138.Pp
139This message may also be received by this node type when a CCP Reset-Request
140is received by the local PPP entity.
141The node will respond by flushing its outgoing compression and encryption
142state so the remote side can resynchronize.
143.El
144.Sh SHUTDOWN
145This node shuts down upon receipt of a
146.Dv NGM_SHUTDOWN
147control message, or when both hooks have been disconnected.
148.Sh COMPILATION
149The kernel options
150.Dv NETGRAPH_MPPC_COMPRESSION
151and
152.Dv NETGRAPH_MPPC_ENCRYPTION
153are supplied to selectively compile in either or both capabilities.
154At least one of these must be defined, or else this node type is useless.
155.Pp
156The MPPC protocol requires proprietary compression code available
157from Hi/Fn (formerly STAC).
158These files must be obtained elsewhere and added to the kernel
159sources before this node type will compile with the
160.Dv NETGRAPH_MPPC_COMPRESSION
161option.

189.Sh BUGS
190In PPP, encryption should be handled by the Encryption Control Protocol (ECP)
191rather than CCP.
192However, Microsoft combined both compression and encryption into their
193``compression'' algorithm, which is confusing.
