pppx — PPP
multiplexer device
pseudo-device pppx
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <net/pipex.h>
The pppx driver works with the
npppd(8) daemon, allocating a
network interface for each Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) session by request
from the daemon. It also works with
pipex(4) to accelerate the
performance of packet forwarding and supports ioctls which are added by
pipex(4).
To use pppx from
npppd(8) the administrator
needs to configure the interface configuration in
npppd.conf(5). Also the
administrator needs to enable
pipex(4) by setting
net.pipex.enable to ‘1’ using
sysctl(8).

The pppx driver first appeared in
OpenBSD 5.3.
