Hi!
A few months ago my ADSL line started dropping out, claiming too many
LQR packets lost. Seems like my telco changed the hardware at the other
end. You get that a lot here. So, I just turned off LQR and left it at
that.
Unfortunately, when the other end loses its marbles the link just hangs
now instead of ppp detecting it and reconnecting. I decided to patch ppp.
I found Mike Tancsa's patch but didn't like it. I rolled my own, which
seems to be working so far. It works by switching from LQR to simple
echo requests when LQR times out.
This should be tuned a bit so that people with working LQR (well, at least
one correct LQR exchange in a given session) don't have to wait for the
echo requests to time out too before a dead connection is detected. I'd
have to have a carrier that supported LQR to test that though. :-)
Stephen.
(This is a patch against ppp in FreeBSD 4.8. I haven't tried the ppp in
-current yet as -current is still a wild and woolly place that scares me.)
