41.Sh NAME
42.Nm ng_pptpgre
43.Nd PPTP GRE protocol netgraph node type
44.Sh SYNOPSIS
45.Fd #include <netgraph/ng_pptpgre.h>
46.Sh DESCRIPTION
47The
48.Nm pptpgre
49node type performs Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) over IP
50for the PPTP protocol as specified by RFC 2637.  This involves packet
51encapsulation, sequencing, acknowlegement, and an adaptive timeout
52sliding window mechanism.  This node type does not handle any of
53the TCP control protocol or call negotiation defined by PPTP.
54.Pp
55This node type expects to receive complete IP packets,
56including the IP header, on the
57.Dv lower
58hook, but it transmits outgoing frames without any IP header.
59The typical use for this node type would be to connect the
60.Dv upper
61hook to one of the link hooks of a
62.Xr ng_ppp 4
63node, and the
64.Dv lower
65hook to the
66.Dv "inet/raw/gre"
67hook of a
68.Xr ng_ksocket 4
69node.
70.Sh HOOKS
71This node type supports the following hooks:
72.Pp
73.Bl -tag -compact -width vjc_vjuncomp
74.It Dv upper
75Connection to the upper protocol layers
76.It Dv lower
77Connection to the lower protocol layers
78.El
79.Pp
80.Sh CONTROL MESSAGES
81This node type supports the generic control messages, plus the following:
82.Bl -tag -width foo
83.It Dv NGM_PPTPGRE_SET_CONFIG
84This command resets and configures the node for a session.
85This command takes a
86.Dv "struct ng_pptpgre_conf"
87as an argument:
88.Bd -literal -offset 0
89/* Configuration for a session */
90struct ng_pptpgre_conf {
91    u_char      enabled;          /* enables traffic flow */
92    u_char      enableDelayedAck; /* enables delayed acks */
93    u_int16_t   cid;              /* my call id */
94    u_int16_t   peerCid;          /* peer call id */
95    u_int16_t   recvWin;          /* peer recv window size */
96    u_int16_t   peerPpd;          /* peer packet processing delay
97                                     (in 1/10 of a second) */
98};
99
100.Ed
101The
102.Dv enabled
103field enables traffic flow through the node.  The
104.Dv enableDelayedAck
105field enables delayed acknowledgement (maximum 250 miliseconds), which
106is a useful optimization and should generally be turned on.
107The remaining fields are as supplied by the PPTP virtual call setup process.
108.It Dv NGM_PPTPGRE_GET_CONFIG
109Returns the current configuration as a
110.Dv "struct ng_pptpgre_conf" .
111.It Dv NGM_PPTPGRE_GET_STATS
112This command returns a
113.Dv "struct ng_pptpgre_stats"
114containing various node statistics.
115.It Dv NGM_PPTPGRE_CLR_STATS
116This command resets the node statistics.
117.It Dv NGM_PPTPGRE_GETCLR_STATS
118This command atomically gets and resets the node statistics, returning a
119.Dv "struct ng_pptpgre_stats" .
120.El
121.Sh SHUTDOWN
122This node shuts down upon receipt of a
123.Dv NGM_SHUTDOWN
124control message, or when both hooks have been disconnected.

148.Sh BUGS
149The node should not expect incoming GRE packets to have an IP header.
150This behavior is inherited from the (converse) behavior of raw IP sockets.
151An intermediate node that strips IP headers in one direction
152should be used instead.
153.Sh HISTORY
154The
155.Nm
156node type was implemented in
157.Fx 4.0 .
