Subject: [PATCH 2/2] l2tp: Add Protocol field compression
Date: Fri, 14 Dec 2018 23:12:42 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181214211242.9721-2-semen.protsenko@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20181214211242.9721-1-semen.protsenko@linaro.org>

When Protocol Field Compression (PFC) is enabled, the "Protocol" field
in PPP packet should be transmitted without leading 0x00. See section
6.5 in RFC 1661 for details. Let's compress protocol field if needed,
the same way it's done in drivers/net/ppp/pptp.c.

To actually enable PFC, one should issue corresponding ioctl to L2TP
driver from user-space, like this:

    ioctl(fd, PPPIOCGFLAGS, &flags);
    flags |= SC_COMP_PROT;
    ioctl(fd, PPPIOCSFLAGS, &flags);

It can be done e.g. from pppol2tp plugin (pppd), when pcomp option was
negotiated with peer.

Of course, we don't compress Protocol field when sending LCP packets. As
stated in RFC 1661, section 6.5:

    The Protocol field is never compressed when sending any LCP
    packet.  This rule guarantees unambiguous recognition of LCP
    packets.
