Subject: IPv6 and PPP for ELKS
Date: Fri, 18 Oct 2002 09:35:02 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20021018163502.64312.qmail@web14706.mail.yahoo.com> (raw)
Hello!
I am Pooja Nagpal from Bangalore, India. I have written a small IPv6 module for ELKS.
Since ELKS is targetted at systems with minimal requirements, the implementation is
based on the draft - Minimum Requirements of IPv6 for Low Cost Network Appliances
<draft-okabe-ipv6-lcna-minreq-01.txt>.
However, since the ELKS implemented IPv4 over SLIP, the IPv6 module also communicated
using SLIP. However, IPv6 does not use SLIP as the lower layer in the real world and
operating systems like Linux etc provide IPv6 support over PPP, Ethernet etc.
So, to test the IPv6 module with another operating system, I have started writing a
PPP daemon for ELKS. It just negotiates the basic LCP connection. An NCP is required
to complete the negotiation for the IPv6 layer. I am not sure how to design the NCP
and whether the code needs to be in the kernel like in Linux.
I'd like to discuss the implementation so far with anyone who is interested or has any
other suggestions.
Thanks,
Pooja
