Message-Id: <20050125192159.GA4603@digitalpath.net> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-ppp@vger.kernel.org I'm trying to figure out a way to monitor the quality of our ppp links. It would seem that RFC1989 would provide a perfect way to do it, but it does not appear that pppd 2.4.3 supports it. I see in the TODO file that link quality monitoring is listed and I do see a _bit_ of code regarding it in the source. So a couple questions-- Any timeframe on this being implemented in pppd? Next release? Two years from now? How are the rest of you currently accomplishing similar monitoring? I have considered writing a small daemon that pings each connection in some sort of efficient way and keeps track of average packet loss. Perhaps there's a more elegant solution already out there. Thanks for any feedback on this... Ray
