Hi there, thanks for ppp!
( I am not on the mailing list? )
The man page says:
When the demand option is used, the interface IP addresses
have already been set at the point when IPCP comes up. If
pppd has not been able to negotiate the same addresses
that it used to configure the interface (for example when
the peer is an ISP that uses dynamic IP address assign-
ment), pppd has to change the interface IP addresses to
the negotiated addresses. This may disrupt existing con-
nections, and the use of demand dialling with peers that
do dynamic IP address assignment is not recommended.
What is meant by `This may disrupt existing connections'? If a TCP
connection assumes an IP, changing the interface will most certainly break
the connection????
Is there any way around this so that I can effectively use dynamic IP with
demand dialing?
What code would need to be written to get this to work? I would like to
write support for this - what is needed?
Thanks
