With some small corrections in options.pptp (which should probably be retired in favour of having stuff configurable through UCI anyway) I got stable and well-performing results when using the pptp plugin and kernel-mode pptp instead of user-space pptpd. I even overdid it and chained several L2TPv2 and PPTP connections within each other until the resulting MTU of the inner-most tunnel ended up ridiculously low -- it's all working great for more than 18 hours now on a small Atheros AR7240.
Considerung the footprint, a single quite busy PPtP session looks like this on that box: PID PPID USER STAT VSZ %VSZ %CPU COMMAND 12267 1 root S 1644 6% 0% /usr/sbin/pppd plugin pptp.so pptp_se 12270 1 root S 1644 6% 0% /usr/sbin/pppd plugin pptp.so pptp_se uptime: 11:53:50 up 18:29, load average: 0.21, 0.24, 0.19 loadavg: 0.29 0.26 0.20 1/48 12601 So obviously, obviously the call-manager is still fork'ed into a seperate process which is created and being controllled by the plugin. Besides that I tested it on rt305x(mipsel), kirkwood(armel) and x86. After integrating #31724 this also starts up correctly and one-by-one after a reboot, not needing manual ifup/ifdown calls any more if initially unresolvable hostnames instead of plain IP addresses are used. Please advise me what is still missing or needs to be changed. How is everybody's schedule regarding the integration and changing of procotols to netifd. The question is basically, if I should work towards getting this integrated asap or if we want to get stuff entirely polished and working in netifd with the existing pptp implementation and then eventually switch over to kernel-mode pptp. _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
