Message-ID: <m3y9fvm6av.fsf@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
I had to make the following modifications to Russ Cox's pppoe.c to get
it work with my ADSL provider (TVnet) here in Hungary. TVnet does not
use PPP framing, so I did not need the -F (nor -f) option. The buf[0]
at the end is a correction of a typo in the hexdump routine, useful
when debugging.
diff pppoe-orig.c pppoe.c
236c236
< char e[ERRMAX], path[64];
---
> char e[ERRLEN], path[64];
239c239
< rerrstr(e, sizeof e);
---
> errstr(e);
511d510
< argv[argc++] = "-F";
687a687
> buf[0] = '\0';
Still, I had problems viewing web pages and connecting to FTP sites.
So I checked out Roaring Penguin's PPPoE client for Linux. As they
explain it (http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe/als-pppoe-paper.pdf
section 4.5) they modify the MSS value in the TCP header of packets.
First, I tried to implement their trick (see among their sources
rp-pppoe-3.3/src/common.c:/^clampMSS) but I did not succeed, not
surprisingly, since I know next to nothing about TCP. But then
lowering the default MSS to 1412 (value suggested by them) in the
kernel (/sys/src/9/ip/tcp.c:/DEF_MSS) helped.
Hope this helps.
