Is it absolutely necessary to recompile the kernel, for a WinXP client to achieve compression with a L2TPD/SuperFreeSwan server?
None of the major distrubtion would probably want to bother with MPPC because it is patent encumbered. So you may have to add it to your kernel yourself. I don't know if there is a userspace implementation. There are some references to a "ppp-mppc" but I cannot find it.
Can you point me to some docs about this? Or if you know XP is compatible with IPCOMP, how do you enable it?
According to the following post, IPCOMP is not supported on Windows 2000. I don't know about XP but it seems that Microsoft wants you to use PPP compression instead. Not surprisingly because this fits very nicely in their patent strategy...
