Re: [lwip-users] Which PPP implementation should be used? PPP-new or PPP from the master branch

Hi Sylvain,

Thanks for your support. 

I didn't know it doesn't support PPP server. Any plans to add PPP server? What 
needs be done in order to support PPP server?

This is kind of unusual, since our PPP stack only supports PPP client the IP 
address is usually given by the server. If you really need this we can add 
macro to set the necessary field in the PPP neg-configuration.

It mostly depends on which lower level protocol you wish to use, PPPoS, PPPoE 
or PPPoL2TP, I am sure I already provided hints on this list which should be on 
the list archive.

Anyway, this isn't hard, the API is fully documented in headers and should be 
explanatory enough to give you the way to proceed.

If you really need an example, you can checkout the ppp-new branch of the 
contrib Git repository, it contains my quick'n'dirty source code I use to test 
the ppp-new branch in "lwip-contrib/ports/unix/proj/minimal".
