DESCRIPTION
The
ppp interface allows serial lines to be used as network interfaces using the
Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP). The
ppp interface can use various types of compression and has many features over the SLIP protocol used by the
sl(4) interface.
Supported options are:
-
options PPP_BSDCOMP
-
Enable support for BSD-compress (`bsdcomp') compression in ppp.
-
options PPP_DEFLATE
-
Enable support for deflate compression in ppp.
-
options PPP_FILTER
-
This option turns on pcap(3) based filtering for ppp connections. This option is used by pppd(8) which needs to be compiled with PPP_FILTER defined (the current default).
