.Sh NAME
.Nm ng_mppc
.Nd Microsoft MPPC/MPPE compression and encryption netgraph node type
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In sys/types.h
.In netgraph/ng_mppc.h
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm mppc
node type implements the Microsoft Point-to-Point Compression (MPPC)
and Microsoft Point-to-Point Encryption (MPPE) sub-protocols of
the PPP protocol.
These protocols are often used in conjunction with the Point-to-Point
Tunneling Protocol (PPTP).
.Pp
The node has two hooks,
.Dv "comp"
for compression and
.Dv "decomp"
for decompression.
Typically one or both of these hooks would be connected to the
.Xr ng_ppp 4
node type hook of the same name.
Each direction of traffic flow is independent of the other.
.Sh HOOKS
This node type supports the following hooks:
.Pp
.Bl -tag -compact -width vjc_vjuncomp
.It Dv comp
Connection to
.Xr ng_ppp 4
.Dv "comp"
hook.
Incoming frames are compressed and/or encrypted, and sent
back out the same hook.
.It Dv decomp
Connection to
.Xr ng_ppp 4
.Dv "decomp"
hook.
Incoming frames are decompressed and/or decrypted, and sent
back out the same hook.
.El
.Sh CONTROL MESSAGES
This node type supports the generic control messages, plus the following:
.Bl -tag -width foo
.It Dv NGM_MPPC_CONFIG_COMP
This command resets and configures the node for a session in the
outgoing traffic direction (i.e., for compression and/or encryption).
This command takes a
.Dv "struct ng_mppc_config"
as an argument:
.Bd -literal -offset 0n
/* Length of MPPE key */
#define MPPE_KEY_LEN      16

/* MPPC/MPPE PPP negotiation bits */
#define MPPC_BIT          0x00000001      /* mppc compression bits */
#define MPPE_40           0x00000020      /* use 40 bit key */
#define MPPE_56           0x00000080      /* use 56 bit key */
#define MPPE_128          0x00000040      /* use 128 bit key */
#define MPPE_BITS         0x000000e0      /* mppe encryption bits */
#define MPPE_STATELESS    0x01000000      /* use stateless mode */
#define MPPC_VALID_BITS   0x010000e1      /* possibly valid bits */

/* Configuration for a session */
struct ng_mppc_config {
    u_char    enable;                 /* enable */
    u_int32_t bits;                   /* config bits */
    u_char    startkey[MPPE_KEY_LEN]; /* start key */
};

.Ed
The
.Dv enabled
field enables traffic flow through the node.
The
.Dv bits
field contains the bits as negotiated by the Compression Control Protocol
(CCP) in PPP.
The
.Dv startkey
is only necessary if MPPE was negotiated, and must be equal to the
session start key as defined for MPPE.
This key is based on the MS-CHAP credentials used at link authentication time.
.It Dv NGM_MPPC_CONFIG_DECOMP
This command resets and configures the node for a session in the
incoming traffic direction (i.e., for decompression and/or decryption).
This command takes a
.Dv "struct ng_mppc_config"
as an argument.
.It Dv NGM_MPPC_RESETREQ
This message contains no arguments, and is bi-directional.
If an error is detected during decompression, this message is sent by the
node to the originator of the
.Dv NGM_MPPC_CONFIG_DECOMP
message that initiated the session.
The receiver should respond by sending a PPP CCP Reset-Request to the peer.
.Pp
This message may also be received by this node type when a CCP Reset-Request
is received by the local PPP entity.
The node will respond by flushing its outgoing compression and encryption
state so the remote side can resynchronize.
.El
.Sh SHUTDOWN
This node shuts down upon receipt of a
.Dv NGM_SHUTDOWN
control message, or when both hooks have been disconnected.
.Sh COMPILATION
The kernel options
.Dv NETGRAPH_MPPC_COMPRESSION
and
.Dv NETGRAPH_MPPC_ENCRYPTION
are supplied to selectively compile in either or both capabilities.
At least one of these must be defined, or else this node type is useless.
.Pp
The MPPC protocol requires proprietary compression code available
from Hi/Fn (formerly STAC).
These files must be obtained elsewhere and added to the kernel
sources before this node type will compile with the
.Dv NETGRAPH_MPPC_COMPRESSION
option.

.Sh BUGS
In PPP, encryption should be handled by the Encryption Control Protocol (ECP)
rather than CCP.
However, Microsoft combined both compression and encryption into their
``compression'' algorithm, which is confusing.
